December 27, 2024,☃️❄️🌞Eislaufen zum Forsthaus Sattelbach und Touringen ♟️180,181

Instead of a snow hike, it was more like ice skating again 🥶 The paths were partly as smooth as glass, especially the bridge at the roundabout was a dangerous ice surface🫣😳
Fortunately, everything went smoothly 😂🤗 Even a slip at the Sattelbach forest house luckily didn't result in any injuries. Of course, we didn't get a seat without a …

October 4, 2024,Wanderung von Oberhof zum Forsthaus Sattelbach

In constant rain, the leisurely tour took us from the hotel to the Rennsteig. We then walked along it for a short time. Then we left it and shortly afterwards reached the beautiful and cozy "Forsthaus Sattelbach" refreshment stop. After a long rest, the path led us back to the hotel via narrow forest paths.

The first is directly at the parking lot at the roundabout. Opposite, on the other side of the road, is the forest workers' memorial. Yesterday we got the stamp 193 …

May 29, 2026,Rennsteig-Tunnelquerung – Forsthaus Sattelbach Runde von Oberhof

It wasn't easy at all for the mothers to find a suitable tour that we could do together. Not too far, not too much elevation gain, not too steep a descent, nice paths, something interesting to see, etc. 🤔😅. The conclusion was "well, it was okay".
However, I was able to put a few more tour stamps 🕹️ in the …
