October 4, 2024,Wandern in der Rhön Tag 2 von 3 Wasserkuppe Guckaisee Wachtküppel Ebersburg

The tour started at the "Alte Mühle" hotel in a district of Weyers. The first "highlight" on the way was the Ebersburg ruins. Unfortunately, access to the tower was closed. Just 500m further on, you can admire the Mariengrotte. After a few meters of descent, you go through Poppenhausen with a few shops to stock up on supplies if necessary. …

Started at half past ten in Poppenhausen and just started walking... Hmmmm, well, the sky …

I flirted with this path for a long time and finally I tackled it with two friends, which is why more beer than water was drunk. 😅

We passed great spots on our first day, but my highlight was definitely the view from the horse's head. For me the most brilliant panoramic view in the Rhön so far.
