Last stop🏁🚩
Thale Rosstrappe with a visit to the Winzenburg:
Already immortalized in my notebooks, the damsel 👸 gives the hiking guide on the local estates ⚜.

Equally brilliant is the forest path towards Rosstrappe, …

At the end we were still at the Rosstrappe. The small single trail from the Winzenburg to the Rosstrappe is really nice 👍 Otherwise everything is as usual there: impressive views, a lot going on, great prices.
After coffee/beer and cake back home.

However, several people advised us against it, too narrow, too steep, too warm... so we just walked a short distance to a viewpoint and then up again. It was still beautiful 🤩 the rock formations on the Rosstrappe (HWN …
