Today we started on the Hohe Geba, the highest mountain in the Anterior Rhön, and followed the Dr. Malade Trail to collect stamps 240, 244, and 245.

From the plateau of the Hohe Geba, you have a truly stunning view of the Rhön.

During the GDR era, there was a Russian listening post here.

No big tour today, but a wonderful tour of the Rhön. It's a shame that there are no restaurants left on the Hohe Geba. It was always cozy there.

From there, steadily downhill back to the parking lot.
