The "Sunny Hermann" can be reached directly with the MTB, large partly beautiful paths, a very steep climb and also a scree. Above you will be rewarded with a wonderful view, from Viernau to Rotterode.

Unfortunately without snow, but partly with icy paths ... 🥶 At the end of the round there was still time for a short detour over the Dicken Berg and a fantastic sunset over southwest Thuringia! 🤩

September 24, 2022,Wanderung zum Großen Hermannsberg (Das Steigerlied)

Right at the beginning of my tour, I ran into a special hiking group, dressed strikingly and with a guitar 🎸 on the way. As if left over from a time long past. The men and one woman all come from different places, most of them from Brandenburg. They have fun walking together in historical clothing from the beginning of …
