Öchsenberghütte (Touringen Stamping Point No. 95)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Öchsenberg hut is open on Sundays and home-made cakes, coffee, beer and other refreshing drinks as well as fatty bread and butcher sausage are offered. Very tasty after the climb and the magnificent view is definitely worth it!

May 15, 2025,Touringen: Keltenpfad Teil 1 Oechsenberg (T95,96)

And I took advantage of another free sunny day to collect stamps. This time I headed towards the Rhön Mountains to the Celtic Trail.

Since I'm always a bit limited on time, I split the Celtic Trail and hiked Part 1, Oechsenberg, today. I got Touringen stamps 95 and 96.

Good route with lots of beautiful views. The way we did the route, it was mostly asphalt. Maybe it would be better to do the extra tour to the summit.

Since the entire tour was too long for me, I split it up.
The first part leads to a lovely hut with delicious cake! 🍰
It was almost exclusively along beautiful forest paths and trails.
There are plenty of places to rest. Many of them are covered.

Since the visibility was zero on my first visit to the Oechsenberg, I was looking forward to a second one for a long time.
Today was the day.
Wonderful, mystical mountain with a lot of history and today a wonderful view. 😊
Small but beautiful circular hike with lots of pure nature.
So:
Start, slow down and enjoy. 😇

Unfortunately, this little hike was in the fog and therefore no view of the beautiful Werra valley. Ate at the Keltenhotel as a small compensation. Recommended 👍
...nice service, good food and a delicious beer.
