November 16, 2025,Sonntagsrunde 7.9 (Gruppentour - Museumsrunde SM)

Today's Sunday hike was a "GE" group tour. 😃

I simply joined the group at the last minute, and we hiked together.

The original route can be found on Komoot under the name: "Museumswanderweg Schmalkalden (Touringen Stempel 381, 382, 383)"
Collecting stamps isn't really my thing, but it was still a lot of fun in such nice company. 👍🏼😁

February 16, 2024,Museumsrundweg Nr.7 bei Schmalkalden

Because I've only worked Monday to Thursday since February (unless I'm on call), I now have Fridays free for everything but work. Inspired by @Daniela 🏞️, who recently did this tour, I decided to do the museum circuit near Schmalkalden today. With the track saved on Komoot, the tour is no problem at all. However, Daniela was absolutely right when …

Schmalkalden is an absolute gem. Lots of half-timbered houses - beautiful. Today we walked the museum trail from Schmalkalden. Here we walked a large part of the Luther Trail. The Luther Trail in Thuringia covers a total of 335 km and is a circular route... Our next mission is set...

Varied tour on the Museumsweg. From the wide panoramas, it goes to the historic "Neuen Hütte" and over the striking Breitensteine to the Finstertal visitor mine in Asbach. To conclude, the impressive Wilhelmsburg Castle (currently under renovation) and the picturesque old town with its magnificent half-timbered houses await - an absolute feast for the eyes!

Yesterday we went hiking in the small town of Schmalkalden. Located southwest of the Thuringian Forest.
Before we set off, we checked the weather in the morning. The forecast said it would be cloudy with a chance of pleasant temperatures. So ideal shorts weather, with no risk of sunburn. We quickly got dressed and headed off to the train station, …

...a very nice tour, for me it has the character of a panoramic trail, as the views of the countryside are simply amazing. The weather held and the rising fog had something mystical about it. The stage at the Breitensteine is not to be underestimated, as there is only a narrow path here. We didn't go to the Finsterberg mine, …
