Schlehenblick Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

That's the Schlehenblick! A relatively small tower that was built in 2017 and offers a view over the shooting ranges of the former Weberstedt military training area. This is also used to document the succession sequence of this area.

June 3, 2023,Zum Hainich 🚴‍♀️ in den Urwald 🌳🌳🌳

Today starts my patchwork holiday, which I start in Bad Langensalza in Thuringia. Here I do a lap around the Hainich, with 13,000 hectares, the largest contiguous deciduous forest area in Germany. The beech characterizes the image of the forest. About half of it is national park. nationalpark-hainich.de/de/nationalpark/nationalpark-hainich.html

Short detour into the beautiful Hainich Nature Park. The paths are mostly gravel, a sturdy bike with coarse tires is a must. Otherwise a nice tour.

Right in front of us and not yet ridden, the national park circular trail in the Hainich. Made up for it today. The starting point was the car park at the cemetery in Craula, free and not as many people as at the national park center. We did the tour opposite to the official tour description because we found the …

Mega bike tour through the beech forest Hainichen. I was there in the fall and the color of the leaves is beautiful. Will do the tour again in the summer. The forest is really enchanting.

Wonderful route, short but beautiful. Can certainly be expanded.
A stop at the Haunich Baude at the Craulaer Wanderparkplatz is highly recommended. You can get delicious Austrian specialties to eat there😋

I gladly took up the suggestion and completed this round this afternoon.
Despite the already made 19 circular routes on foot in Hainich, a few new corners were added today.

For this round you should use at least one trekking bike, because one or the other passage is suboptimal with a Dutch bike.
A child bike trailer is also …
