Old Flößgraben Trail

Highlight • Trail

The old raft ditch used to be pitted by the upper Sieglitz pond and when enough wood was felled, it was flooded and the wood was transported down the valley.

April 26, 2025,Oberer Sieglitzteich – Ausgebrannter Stein Runde von Oberhof

Oberhof is always worth a trip!
I followed it again...
I would have been better off going in the opposite direction! The end stretches out for almost 5 km, steadily uphill... 🫣 My right leg was acting up again.
Nice route overall. Quite nice trails at the beginning, then a longer stretch becomes somewhat monotonous on forestry vehicle tracks (gravel, …

June 30, 2024,Oberhof ➡️Waldrunde bei Regen🌧️

The start was good...slightly cloudy and with the hope that it wouldn't rain. Unfortunately we were not spared and after an hour it started to rain heavily🌧️. Our feet got a gentle water massage...but all in all it was an adventure. The route is easy to walk. What is missing are huts for shelter.

September 28, 2026,Von Oberhof zum Tunnel "Ausgebrannter Stein" & zur "Lütschetalsperre" 🚶‍♂️

Beim Verlassen des Hauses leuchtete mich der Mond an und zeigte mir quasi persönlich die Richtung zum Zwötzener Bahnhof. Ein schöner Start in den Tag – wenn auch zu einer Uhrzeit, zu der normale Menschen noch überlegen, ob sie sich noch einmal umdrehen sollen. 😄

May 29, 2025,Ausgebrannter Stein – Oberer Sieglitzteich Runde von Oberhof

Today we chose a hike in Oberhof in the Thuringian Forest. From our free parking space, we quickly entered the forest. I was immediately struck by the wonderful scent of wood and moss in the forest. The sun shone through the trees, and the water droplets on the plants shone like little diamonds. One of the major highlights was supposed …

A wonderfully smooth ride today in the Thuringian Forest, with great views and some very beautiful paths and trails, accompanied by a refreshing breeze.

If there's anything to complain about, it's that there were a bit too many forest paths for my taste.

Beautiful circular hiking trail marked from the campsite. Part forest roads, part natural paths. There are a few rocky steps to overcome on the high stone. Completely successful ;-)

August 24, 2024,☀️🌲⛰️Naturpark-Weg - Lütsche-Flößgraben💦👀🥾

Since the thermometer was supposed to climb above 30°C🌡️ today, I laced up my hiking boots very early 🥾 and drove to the higher elevations of the Thuringian Forest. Since the proximity to the water can't hurt and I haven't been to the Lütsche for a long time, I decided to hike the Lütsche-Flößgraben nature park trail. Contrary to the …
