Really premium, this extra tour! Curse and blessing at the same time: gastronomy along the way? Zero, nada, nothing. Sturdy shoes are a must, especially in the Schafstein area. That at least keeps the flip-flop faction away (hopefully) 😃😃😃

On Sunday we tested the newest extra tour of the Rhön. The Ehrenberger was inaugurated in October and the markings are correspondingly fresh. 😍 A relatively easy tour, but peppered with 2 real steep sections. As always, the scenery is phenomenal! The Schafstein as a highlight of the tour works great.
The cold winter conditions also brought frozen creeks, masses …
