August 16, 2024,Burgruine Haineck – Methas Ruh Runde von Nazza

Nice round trip, with one caveat: Despite the fact that the "Hainichlandweg" is a marked/directly designated hiking trail, you have to fight your way through chest-high grass and thistles behind the Haineck castle ruins.

Starting from Nazza to the Haineck castle ruins. Quite idyllic and pretty to look at with Rapunzel's braid. Another little round through the beech forest. The first early bloomers such as daphne, coltsfoot, liverworts and wood anemones look boldly into the sun 🌞. Very well signposted and there are also benches for a snack.
