September 17, 2021,Der Mottener (Extratour) oder Hinterm Horizont 🌅 geht's weiter, geht's weiter... 😳🙈😂

The cast has been off for two days 😃. So today I just had to dare: 🚘 drive (after more than four weeks) 😎. Started at 11 a.m. in Speicherz. It was the turn of the “Mottener”. I enjoyed the tour very much. Some of the “climbs” dragged on quite a bit ... Up on the hood the view was …

July 17, 2021,Extratour Der Mottener - Motten - Rhön

Very nice round trip on varied paths and with beautiful views of the Sinntal. There was also a steep climb to the Mottener Haube. But we were rewarded with a brilliant all-round view of the observation tower. Unfortunately it was very steamy, the distant peaks could only be seen in the haze. It went down again over blooming meadows and …

Varied extra tour in late summer. The ascent and descent to the Mottener Haube (Gr. Haube) are quite steep and demanding. The view from the tower is of course worth the 122 steps.
Today there were a lot of mushrooms in the forest and as a mushroom unfamiliar I left them all in their place.
The Sauerbrunnen (small detour from …

June 7, 2022,Extratour Der Mottener

The start and end point of today's hike was the Gasthof zum Biber in Speicherz. From there we went with many great panoramic views to the former volcanic vent Pilsterstein and the Mottener Haube with observation tower. Shortly before and after the Mottener Haube it goes along the old border of the kingdoms of Bavaria and Prussia for a while. …

The Mottener leads through forests and over fields from Speicherz to the large hood with the lookout tower and then to the Pilsterstein near Kothen.

You can only really see far ahead from the tower. Otherwise it remains very low mountain range.

January 14, 2025,006/25 Extratour "Der Mottener"

With the nice weather, I just had to go out again. I had decided to do this extra tour because I hadn't been up the Haube for ages and I was able to enjoy a lot of sun here.
I started in Speicherz at the starting point and walked anti-clockwise, which turned out to be a good decision in retrospect. …
