Bloße Zelle (480 m) — Highest point in the Hils

Highlight • Summit

The 480 m high Bloße Zelle is the highest point of the Hils. An interesting place, but without a view due to afforestation.

January 8, 2022,Winterwunderland im Ith und Hils🛷☃️❄️

Today we wanted to go back to Ith and were absolutely thrilled when we saw all the snow 😀. The two snowmen met us on the way down and absolutely had to be photographed. Unfortunately, we didn't build a snowman ourselves😁☹️. All in all, a great tour except for a small section along the main road.

May 26, 2024,Rothesteinhöhle -Wilhelm-Raabe-Turm. Tour von Eschershausen

If you plan to go into a cave, you should not forget your flashlight. We only got as far as the first step with our cell phone. 🙈😅
The coniferous forest makes the Hils look very different from the Ith. This makes the path very varied. We also found the spacious Ith meadows with the many flowers very worth seeing.

It started chilling again up to the Red Fox then left to the Raabeturm. 🌈 The tower is great but you have to have a little courage you can see down through every step because the rungs are thin 🥺 but they are only 15 meters 😁😁 Be careful on the penultimate platform there is protection there 🙄 I should …
