September 14, 2023,Mal kurz einen Skywalk am Sonnenstein 1,3km

After the Drachenschlucht-Wartburg tour, the question was: still go to Eisenach or an alternative journey home with a stopover?
The latter was chosen and so we headed home over the Ohm Mountains and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious picnic including skywalk and twilight.

Today it was more sightseeing. The car was more active than us 😁. First a short walk to the Skywalk Sonnenstein (stamp place), which we already know, then on to the Rhumequelle and then the half-timbered town of Duderstadt.

But that doesn't matter...it's beautiful here. 😉👍

After my hike in Bad Sachsa, I still had some time, so I was able to put my plan to visit the Skywalk on the Sonnenstein in the Eichsfeld region into action. I'd already been there in June 2020, when it was the second stop on the "Wandering Stamp" trail. I could have been there right at sunset. Unfortunately, a …
