A beautiful extra tour in the Rhön Mountains, with excellent trails and fantastic views. Halfway through the hike, you can stop for a bite to eat at the Würzburger Hütte (closed on Wednesdays). Impressive beech forests, large trees, truly majestic.

Today there was some hard snow and ice, so it was a little more difficult to walk!

On a business trip 3 hours, which should be used. So shoes on, backpack on and let's go!

This round should definitely be run clockwise if you start in Platz am Wanderparkplatz. So you have the highlight of the view at the end of the tour. The ascent is also more pleasant overall.

That was a very nice tour. An acquaintance gave us the tip for the ExtraTours.
We started from the hiking car park in place. The paths were varied enough. The vertical meters to be overcome were all in the sun. It was pretty exhausting, especially for the dogs. Naomi simply took her breaks herself 😉 Up at the Würzburg house …

The Kuppenweg is one of the less great extra tours. Most of the time it goes through the forest or across pastures. A real Rhön feeling doesn't want to set in here.

You only have views from the Würzburg House and from the Platzer Kuppe.

The Kuppenweg Geroda extra tour starts at the hiking car park in Platz and leads from there through forests and meadows – initially 2 km downhill and then steadily uphill to the Würzburg Karl Straub Haus, which we were already familiar with from numerous other hikes. This was a good thing, as we were familiar with the views from there …
