Quelitzfelsen – Touringen Stamp Point 166

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here's the stamp 166. It's easy to miss because it's on the back of a sea of signs.

Bielstein Shelter with Reservoir View

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The turnoff to the refuge can easily be overlooked as there is unfortunately no sign and the view of the dam is also very limited by the vegetation.

Beautiful and varied round km of Thuringian Forest Nature Park - from the parking lot near Quelitz up to the dam and along the Leibis/Lichte dam to the Meurasteinen and via Meura, the heath and the Quelitzfelsen back 😊👌
Weather, peace and bird concert were a dream this morning 😍... and this time also met a herd of mother mares …

Today we went to the Meurasteinen near the Leibis/Lichte dam. The dam can be crossed during the day. I got the tour from the community. Has been posted here multiple times.

Beautiful circular hike from the Leibis/Lichte dam (at 102m, the second highest dam in the former GDR) to the Meurasteinen and back. Attention: From Meura to the Meurasteine refuge and from there the descent to stamp point 168 (Meurasteine) there are many fallen trees blocking the hiking trail, so this path requires a lot of climbing skills and carries the …

Great hike in wonderful weather. There are lots of trees lying across the Meurasteine and there was a fire on the way down to the campsite. It could be cleared. But the beautiful scenery makes up for everything.

We started at the parking lot at the Leibis-Lichte dam. Again a very well signposted hiking trail and one can definitely recommend it. Especially the Meurasteine are worth a detour. 😊
Today the photos are in the right order 👌, but my GPS did what it wanted again. 🙄 The round is usually 13.3 km.

Today I made myself sick because I have a cold and needed some sun for a better recovery. I took the train in the direction of Saalfeld at noon and decided during the journey to hike this newly created Meurasteine nature park trail, also because a bus goes there on weekdays.
I wasn't that excited about today's tour. Up to …

Nice tour. Unfortunately the route along the reservoir is asphalt. But beautiful views!

From the parking lot, we first went up to the dam, then continued uphill to the Meurasteine, a really beautiful hiking trail!
