September 7, 2024,Von Hartwaldklinik zur Luitpold Hütte über die Sinn beim Washington Platz

Great hike in the Bavarian Rhön. There are some lovely old Douglas fir trees on the route that seem to reach 30m straight into the sky. This tour is also recommended on hot days, as it mostly leads through the forest.

September 8, 2024,Extratour Königsweg - Bad Brückenau - Rhön

Finally walked the extra tour Königsweg!
Parked in the car park in front of the Wandelhalle (Bad Brückenau state spa) and off we went.
Most of the route is only in the forest, so it's great to walk even in warm weather. First along the Sinn, then steeper climbs to Volkers (beautiful view)
Wonderful forest paths with protruding stones and …

Beautiful round through a lot of lonely forest and right through the bustling state bath Bad Brückenau. Start in Volkers, just a few km from the autobahn.

Today I did the next extra tour near Bad Brückenau. Very beautiful, mainly in the forest, on natural paths and trails. Uphill and downhill, just like in the Rhön. You can see that the paths are washed away in heavy rain.
At the end it goes along the Sinn and ends in the spa park

There are great extra tours in the Rhön, not so great extra tours and there is one tour that doesn't really deserve the "extra" label. And we did exactly this "extra tour" today. Although, given the heat that prevailed, the "King's Trail" near Bad Brückenau was actually exactly the right tour. It went almost entirely through the forest, with no …

October 3, 2022,Mehr als eine schöne Pilztour. Der Königsweg.

Once again, the journey was the goal. The K from the Königsweg starts and ends in the beautiful park of Bad Brückenau. The route is varied with a "warming" mountain classification. The detour with a stop at the monastery tavern on the Volkersberg is certainly not a mistake ;-). The way back is relatively quick via beautiful forest paths (trails …

March 9, 2024,Extratour: Königsweg

The “Extratour Königsweg” offers a wonderful forest bath. At first I had to take a route parallel to the actual route because of closed bridges, but it was a manageable route. We then went uphill into the forest, along a longer panoramic path above Bad Brückenau and then even higher and deeper into the wonderful forest. I rarely manage to …
