An overnight stay near the Hohe Geba made it possible to use Sunday for another hike. The views were spectacular, even if it might be even more beautiful at other times of the year. Even without a map, orientation was no problem. Make sure you pack enough provisions. Really beautiful!

February 15, 2025,Extratour Gebaweg (Touringen Stempel 240, 241, 242, 243+245)

Beautiful hike around the "Hohe Geba". A hill of 751m above sea level in the Rhön, about 5km from the former German/German border. You pass through the towns of Stepfertshausen, Oberkatz and Geba. There are 4 touring stamps on the tour. As a special treat, you can get stamp 245 on the way at the "Rhönfrieden". In the tour booklet, …

Today, Petra from the Steigerwald Club invited us to a Rhön hike, the "Extratour Gebaweg," and several hiking friends joined us. Following the original route, but starting in Stepfershausen, it was a relaxed day of hiking with very pleasant temperatures and sunshine, so we had lots of fun along the way and enjoyed some great views. Various viewpoints, traditional village …

Started in Oberkatz, counterclockwise towards Hohe Geba. Right at the beginning we met Peter from Switzerland. He moves from Bern to Berlin. Our paths diverged and brought us back together again. It was funny that Peter showed up just as the food was on the table. We fortified ourselves with a magnificent view. Unfortunately, the restaurants on the Hohe Geba …

Man, what kind of soup is that on the high Geba when we start! Visibility below 10 m and temperatures below 5°C. 🥶

The start runs past the Gebaer Rhöngarten and past the Bergstübchen. First it goes downhill through the forest. And while we're talking, we suddenly realize that the path markings that are otherwise used almost inflationary are missing …
