Beautiful round in the sunshine, unfortunately still quite cold.

Last tour of the Freiensteinau hiking trails. Well-marked, beautiful route, but the meadow paths are unkempt (high wet grass and nettles). From the car park at Nieder-Mooser-See to the geotope "Alter Steinbruch" at Horst (553 m) and Bonifatiuskanzel through Gunzenau to Reichloser Teich. Continue through Reichlos to Gunzenauer Teich and back to Nieder-Mooser-See with a quick refreshment at the lake. …

The tour starts and ends at the campsite of the Nieder-Mooser See and gently goes up and down through a picturesque, typical Vogelsberg landscape. Many meadows, cow pastures, and small woods. A highlight of the tour is the Bonifatiuskanzel with a noteworthy view of the Rhön. 🥾👍🏻
