April 23, 2024,Frankenburgweg bei Breitungen ☀️🕹️

Today I collected 3 hiking stamps again. The Frankenbergweg runs for the first 5km to the castle ruins together with the Werra-Burgen-Steig. The path there is very varied on soft forest floor. After that the path is a bit more monotonous on wide forest paths. Back in Breitungen you are guided through the town. Highlights are definitely the pretty market …

Today's tour was really worth its three stamps. The route stored in Komoot held two rather nasty surprises.

August 9, 2025,Frankenburgrundweg (Touringen Stempel 347, 348, 349)

The Frankenburg circular trail offers many beautiful views and, at times, magical, almost mystical sections through pine and spruce forests.
In midsummer, you can see very little of the Breitungen lakes from the shore, as the reeds are quite high at that time. Views are only possible from the sometimes very shaky jetties, which are only accessible to members of …
