Description:

This year we started with four people in the Rhon. From the Ruhr, it went through the Sauerland and Siegen Wittgenstein to Hesse. For accommodation, the choice fell on a holiday this year in Hunfeld Rudolphshan.


With this choice we have made a real stroke of luck. Not only that, the apartment is pretty cheap – no, Jens is even motorcyclists and us – of course for him – asked for his motorcycle garage. On arrival the garage was already up and had a bucket with warm water for cleaning the visor also prepared. However, since the last part of the Directions has spent a cloudburst over us, the water bucket was not necessary.

The Apartment (Non smoking apartment) is up to 5 people. There are two double and one single bedroom, 1 living-dining room a kitchen and two bathrooms.The kitchen is fully equipped and can actually nothing to be desired. The only drawback is in the district Rudophshan there is no shopping. If it allows its time, is Jens its guests as a tour guide is available.

First day, first tour.
In warm but windy weather we have our way in the Bavarian Rhon made. Out of Rudolphshan we kept right direction Oberrombach to Mrs. Rombach then turn left towards Pfordt Ullershausen and follow the road towards Fulda. Fulda, we’ve touched on that day but who only wants to do in culture is in good hands with its cathedral and old town.

Our first goal for the day but was the Kreuzberg Monastery in the Bavarian Rhon. The parking fee is slightly below the monastery, the monastery is reached in about 10 minutes walk. Kreuzberg Monastery was a Benedictine abbey in the past self-sufficient. Today there are no monks in maroon robes are to be found; only the supply is still good.

There are home-brewed beer convent and monastery cheese. The beer, however, we have omitted the cheese on a hearty bread was a great time. On the monastery grounds, there are (as it should be different) and also a featured bands the usual Tourikram.

From here we walked towards Bischofsheim Rhon which is also a remarkable town. Bishop home, we leave in direction Hochrhonstraße with target black moor. On the Hochrhonstraße had to take things a little slower here blew a stiff wind, which caused even in a straight line for a certain tilt. Who Thuringian bratwurst may be supplied at the Tourist Information Black Moor well.

You might want to walk through the moors, who does not drive up further towards the water peak and as we take the ST1287 is the course for L3476 (who started with nothing and L ST) can choose the direction Seifert. In Seifert’s turn left onto the B 278 direction Ehrenberg, follow the 278 we turn to the right direction Mosbach. On small country roads we head Poppenhausen. Of Poppenhausen it goes uphill past Abtsroda to Wasserkuppe.

On the water summit, the highest peak in the Rhon, for others the highest mountain in the Rhon, you can spend time and money during good weather. Besides a glider airfield houses a Soaring Museum, a summer toboggan run, catering and the old NATO listening post is to visit also.

The tour continues towards the water Reulbach knoll on the other side of the Fulda downhill past spring. Turn right at fire on the B 458 direction Wickers. In Batten, we take the B278 towards Hilders Hilders behind it goes left again on small country roads under the direction of Bernard / King mill. Next we head back to Fulda and Rudolphshan.

Those like us, has not completed many laps can visit here Have a nice trip to make out the Bad Hersfeld Abbey Ruins Although there are only a few half-timbered medieval houses but we had the chance to buy time and we had too. What should her eighth – especially in larger cities – the poor Hesse need money like all states, and they pick up on nice photos from the roadside. Modern high with these new columns are the Ortsein and exit paved over, thanks to modern technology to take pictures of things the front, back from probably the top and bottom.

Second day / second tour
For this day we have the Rhon and the eastern Thuringian Forest made.

Rudolph Shan of it goes towards the left Hunfeld. In Hunfeld you can provide you with sandwiches and drinks here is also the nearest gas station. We turn left towards the coffin before Hunfeld cell / Hunhan.

In Neuwirtshaus it goes for a short distance on the 84th B Rasdorf direction but then we leave the B 84 direction again Grossenstaft / Soislieden. About Philippsthal it comes to Bad Salzungen. Here the potash exists with all its advantages and disadvantages. Huge slag heaps grows in the middle of the landscape in the sky.

When it rains, the waste contained in the residual salts is washed out and get into the groundwater, streams and rivers. The only advantage that the mountains have this art, one can determine the fine weather.

Is it a sunny day, they are snow-setting, the humidity rises and the weather is bad they are gray.

It continues in the Thuringian Forest on small roads to Friedrichsroda.
The lunch break, we have inserted in Rennsteighotel Hubertusklause. Occasionally, it was mostly good on the streets a little tight when a fully loaded one long timber truck opposite direction.

Friedrichsroda of it went over Ernstroda, Leinatal, Elliman direction Oberhof winter sports center in the Thuringian Forest. If one stands so before a jump, it is already powerfully impressive what you do with skis on their feet yet so anything can. I would not do it. Not even with an airbag.

Again, the roads through the winter are sometimes badly affected and one or the other bituminous patching or longitudinal grooves dirty one line. It goes downhill past Schmalkalden direction Zella-Mehlis. From now on, we had to hold back westward, as it was late afternoon and the sun was already very deep trip back was part of flying blind. Who likes curves (who does not like her) and enyoj views along the route to / can the Rhon and the Thuringian forest are only recommended.
