November 10, 2024,Wildkatzenschleichpfad (Thüringen Stempel 37, 38, 39) Tour 4/4

The Hainich National Park is a must for hikers. Fairytale forests, looking like primeval forests, you could even film "Lord of the Rings" there?!😂😂 The forest paths are real nature trails. Beautifully designed theme points from the Brothers Grimm and from the Roman era. The trees are very well described and presented on information boards, thanks to the builders!!!👍👍

Good day,

Done before going to the toilet and having breakfast in the hotel. The tour had barely started and was over again and I am only publishing it here because it is part of a day trip: Wildcat Village.

I took the suggested tour from Touringenstempeldingsda.
It's something for children.
But well done.

The Wildkatzenschleichpfad leads over a very beautiful round through nature (barrier-free). And you would like to be a wild cat again and do gymnastics along the rope course.
