August 5, 2024,Tour 2 mit Enkeltochter 😍

Tour 2 took us to Fischbach in the Rhön to the Witches' Path 🧙‍♀️
A beautiful hiking trail with lots of different stops, some of which lead through a wonderful beech forest.
It's just a shame that the waterfall is no longer accessible and that there is no touring stamp for children 💚

A beautiful hiking trail that is ideal for families. On joint-friendly surfaces, it leads past scattered fruit orchards and lean meadows as well as heathlands and witch woods. Along the route, signs provide information about the plants and animals in the biosphere reserve and about the witch path itself. Covered rest areas offer ample opportunity for a short break.

Today we walked one of the award-winning day tours of 2024.

It was very funny because there were numerous explanatory panels about the plants and animals in this area. Including many about early bloomers and orchids. And the witch Kasara has lots of stories for the little ones.

A lovely tour for young and old. 👍👋🐝

Today on German Unity Day we took a short hike, not to say a walk. 😆...A beautiful tour with lots of surprises, especially for children. Many benches invite you to linger...

This tour is called... Witches' Path... it really is called that. If you do the entire tour, you sometimes get the feeling that it is more than 5.8 km. It is not difficult but beautiful and varied. If you want to make a detour there, you will not be disappointed 👍

Since the large and small round ends of the witches' path were put together, the stand has been standing above the school camp, at this playground under a plum tree. Possibly overlooked by the playground.🤷
