Actually a really nice hike, unfortunately from the Schustersteig onwards the path was totally rutted and muddy, you wade through mud for about 1km 🤨 Otherwise very nice views and well signposted hiking trails.

In the rather cool but sunny holiday weather, I went for a lovely walk in the Uhlstädter Heide today. The start and finish is the small village of Kolkwitz near Rudolstadt. The tour is signposted as Circular Trail 3.

Start/Finish: Kolkwitz, parking lot at the Landhotel Edelhof.

What wouldn't you do for the touring stamp 🤪.
The hike started from Kolkwitz in 30 degree heat.
At the beginning and end of the hike there were a few asphalted stretches, otherwise pleasant forest paths, decorated with cones, flowers, herbs and roots.
In today's temperatures I didn't see any living creatures …

A wonderful hike. The signage in the village is not very good. Dinner is secured by mushrooms. We can only recommend the tour. It is very quiet, lots of nature - wonderful forest

Our main reason for this tour was to collect the missing Thuringian stamps. The route ran through a charming forest and offered us some beautiful views. It must be mentioned, however, that the tour otherwise offered little of note or surprise. At least the stamps are ours now!😜😜😜

To further complete our stamp collection, we headed to Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel in the Hintere Heide region today. Goal achieved: getting three more stamps. There's not much more to say about the tour. 10 km on mostly sandy paths through pine forests where the harvester harvests abundant trees.
The only highlight was the typical, sweet, resinous scent of the trees, which accompanied …
