View of Steinbach from Himmelsleiter Rest Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ladder to heaven is amazing, but the rest area at the top really tops it! Not just because you get a moment to catch your breath, but because you have a magnificent panoramic view. Simply magnificently beautiful.
The only downside is the many dead trees all around.

View of the Old Quarry

Highlight • Viewpoint

A hint of the Wild West feeling surrounds you when you look down into this former quarry that nature has reclaimed. Old Shatterhand and Winnetou could walk by at any time.

April 11, 2022,Bad Bibra: Himmelsleiter - Böselstein - Krawinkel mit Schlüsselblumen, Veilchen, Leberblümchen

A beautiful high-altitude trail that offers a lot of views of the surrounding area and Bad Bibra in the valley. The signage is sometimes rather poor. The ladder to heaven, a path equipped with stairs into the slope of the mountain, which requires a certain level of fitness, but you can take a short breather in between. The view into …

August 21, 2024,Der Böselstein ist wieder da 🤗

Today I stopped by the Böselstein again after a long time. The stone had been gone for at least 2 or 3 years. Today it was back in its old place in a new outfit.
Yes,... I also enjoy the little things ☺️ along the way.

This hike from Bad Bibra up the Himmelsleiter and over to the orchid path to Krawinkel was absolutely amazing. Orchids, bee orchids, fly orchids and much more... We were totally amazed. Just before Bad Bibra we found the yellow lady's slipper... amazing. We only met a handful of hikers on the tour. So it doesn't seem to be as crowded …
