Johannesstollen

Highlight • Historical Site

This is where the Johannes tunnel in the Hohe Meißner was located, approached around 1595. As a memento there is still an old cart, a hunt.

Moss-Covered Basalt Field (Moossteinmeer)

Highlight • Natural Monument

In basalt seas/fields or block heaps in summer, the escaping cold air causes the formation of condensation or a low evaporation rate. This allows various types of mosses to grow and spread there.

📍Starting point at the Viehhaushütte at Stefan's goulash cannon.
Before I started, I had eaten here. Every first Sunday of the month he stands with his goulash cannon at the top of the Meißner, otherwise at the top of the large parking lot and now in the cold months at the Viehhaushütte. The hut is heated with a wood stove …

Today we really wanted to go out into the snow again. Our goal was the Hoher Meißner. It was worth it. 🤗 We decided on circular route 6. Since it was slippery in some places and neither of us are that fit, we skipped the Eulenstieg and took the easy path to Frau Holle Teich. Next year we definitely want …

From our first short stop at the Hoher Meißner, we headed for a view of the Schwalbental valley and the Kalbsee lake. There's still an unpleasant odor in the air …
