December 31, 2021,Rhön: "Extratour 'Der Hilderser'" Hilders - Battensteinkapelle - Buchschirmberg - Köpfchen - Burgruine Auersburg - Hilders

The lighting conditions were not the best during the day. You can see that in the photos. But I recommend going all the way to the end. The sunset mood over the Ulster Valley was just great. So the year 2021 has once again said goodbye in a very colorful way. Here's to a new hiking year 2022.

The Rhön is often described as a barren low mountain range, which – even if it's basically true – has a rather negative connotation. Fortunately, however, there are special tours in the Rhön that convince you that this low mountain range is more than just barren land. Whether you're hiking in the Long Rhön, the High Rhön, or the Kuppen …

Very beautiful, mostly natural mowed grass path!
(my compliment!!!)
Runs very well with the exception of a few sections.
Unfortunately we did not find the Mariengrotto, what a shame!
Unfortunately, my picture is incorrectly labeled 😥

On my second day in the Rhön, I set off at 7:30 a.m. on the so-called Hilderser extra tour. ☀️ The sun was already shining brightly, but the fresh morning air made the heat bearable. I had to walk about 500 meters from my holiday apartment along the main road 🛣️ to the starting point. I set off with a …

And on we go. The Hilderser. First to the ruins of the Auersburg. In the meantime, the view was not quite as good due to the heat, but it was still admirable... From here, the further way, after crossing the road above the ski lift, I had to realize that I didn't even know this section (e.g. Battenstein Chapel). Ergo, …

Today I was once again able to be a hiking guide through the Rhön 😃. @mauntenbeiker came from southern Hesse 🚂, Astrid's red speedster 😅 was already ready and off we went to Hilders. Actually, it was almost a little late, but we would just make it before it got completely dark... The “Hilderser” was announced. The last time I …

Always a very nice hike, relatively little used, great views of the entire Rhön. There are plenty of opportunities to rest along the way. I would recommend packing some food in your backpack.
