October 22, 2023,Rastplatz „Rhönpaulus“ – Blick auf Wiesenthal Runde von Dermbach

It is essential that you have the necessary fitness level for this tour. The first part, up to Bernshausen, leads mostly along natural paths.

From Bernshausen the route leads over tarred paths. The shortcut I took to Urnshausen can only be recommended to a limited extent. The path I took was incorporated into agricultural management. I ran through a herd …

March 24, 2022,Vom Hochrhöner zum Rhönpaulus

Went on the trail of Rhönpaulus today... and the Ibenwald near Dermbach.
Always beautiful.
Then via the Hochrhöner (rating: highly recommended!) to the Bernshäuser Kutte, a pond.
Again and again, benches invite you to rest and linger.
Beautiful terrain!
From Bernshausen continue in the direction of Urnshausen and via the Feldatal cycle path (asphalted and level as a planed board) …

April 28, 2023,Hochrhöner - Tag 7 von von Dermbach nach Bernshausen 🌦🥾

From Dermbach you first go to the Ibengarten with its wonderful old yew trees, where the Rhön Paulus once lived in a cave. According to legend, he was the Robin Hood of the Rhön. On beautiful meadow paths, it is varied on the Horn with a beautiful vantage point. Shortly before the finish you reach the green cowl, a circular …

September 22, 2024,👀 Der Hochrhöner, Kuppenrhön-Panoramatour von Dermbach bis Bernshausen

Today's stage is dedicated to Rhönpaulus, who is treated like a Robin Hood 🏹 of the Rhön. He comes across as sympathetic in the legends, the helpful thief and smuggler who died on the gallows in 1780 for treason. It is easy to imagine that someone was able to hide in the yew forest, especially since he apparently had help …

April 12, 2024,Der Hochrhöner 🌲🪻🕷🌷🌳 - Etappe 6 🚶‍♀️: Von Dermbach 🏡🌲🌳nach Bernshausen 🏞

Today was the shortest stage of the Hochrhöner, so I was able to take my time along the way, enjoy the sun and the many Rhön benches and stop and look around every now and then.🥰
As always, I started after breakfast at around 8:30. The sun was shining early and it was 12°, but it soon got warmer. First …

May 5, 2024,DER HOCHRHÖNER® Kuppenrhön, Etappe 7: Von Dermbach nach Bernshausen

Stage 7 of 8 of the
Hochrhöner premium trail.
The shortest, but also one of the most beautiful tours of the Hochrhöner. Even if you notice that you are out of the core zone of the biosphere reserve and in a clearly agriculturally used area. The trails are very varied and there is always something to see. The first highlight …
