It's beautiful in the Rhön. Today I took advantage of the nice weather to collect stamps again. The view was a bit cloudy, but it was windless on the Geba. I've always found the Geba to be very windy.
I can really recommend hiking the circular route. It offers peace and wonderful views of the Rhön. It often runs on …

Today we started on the Hohe Geba, the highest mountain in the Anterior Rhön, and followed the Dr. Malade Trail to collect stamps 240, 244, and 245.

From the plateau of the Hohe Geba, you have a truly stunning view of the Rhön.

During the GDR era, there was a Russian listening post here.

We knew there would be a bit of snow, but we were truly amazed to find such a beautiful winter wonderland, especially towards the Geba summit – it's incredible what a difference a few meters of elevation can make! The stunning views over Helmershausen, towards the Thuringian Forest, Grabfeld, and Dolmar …

Our hike took us up a little, and suddenly we were in a winter wonderland. ❄️☃️ The ice crystals were sometimes very large and beautiful to look at, definitely formed by frost. It was impressive. The sunshine added a wonderful sparkle. ☀️ The visibility was fantastic; besides Kreuzberg, Dolmar, and Landsberg Castle, we …
