August 31, 2025,Rundwanderweg 🍃"Die schönen Unbekannten"🍃

Today we set off from Mosbach on the "The Beautiful Unknowns" circular trail. Magnificent views opened up again and again, even as far as the Wartburg Castle. But nature wasn't the only factor – information panels along the trail recounted the old legends surrounding the legendary Mosbach. Sometimes mysterious, sometimes fairytale-like – they gave the tour a special atmosphere.

Beautiful tour on, mostly, paved paths. Rest stops are plentiful and a stop at the Hohe Sonne is possible. In good weather in the beer garden with numerous seating options.

We came across this beautiful trail just a few hundred meters from our accommodation. It started at the Mosbach forest swimming pool. After a good stretch, we reached the Mosbach Linde, a magnificent tree 🌳 under which the market women used to meet on their way to the market. The next destination was the large Drachenstein (470.5 m above sea …

Was a very nice round ... heavily frequented around the height of the sun. I'm only a short distance into the definitely great Dragon Gorge ... But it would have taken me too far from the path.

A "fabulous" circular hiking trail from the parking lot of the Waldbad Mosbach on forest and forest paths with some distant views of the Hörsel Mountains, the Großer Inselsberg and the Wartburg. The grill burns daily at the Hohe Sonne and invites you to take a break. A detour on a mountain path leads to the high wall grotto and …

However, this circular hiking trail consisting of 7 legendary stations is by no means unknown to me and certainly to one or the other of you. I already had it under my hiking boots shortly after it opened in April 2019. That's why I ran it clockwise today. Arriving at the Rennsteig, I then decided without further ado to take …

Our start today was at the "Hohe Sonne". There are an incredible number of hiking opportunities here, so sometimes it's not that easy to make the right decision.

The "path of the beautiful unknown" appealed to us, a circular route of approx. 11 km. I found the altitude meters quite suitable for flatland enthusiasts.
The start of the circular hiking …

Since I've already hiked this circular route several times, "The Beautiful Unknowns" are no longer unfamiliar to me. Therefore, I also included a detour from the Hohe Sonne to the Hochwaldgrotte cave and the viewpoint at Hirschstein. You can find more information about the tour at die-schoenen-unbekannten.de. And since I started directly from the parking lot at the Mosbach Waldbad, …
