That is one of the oldest hiking trails in germany it begins at eisenach on the vessel river and ends in the town of on the zed its river. Its customary to take stone from the vet along with you its said to bring good luck and when you reach the end of the strike you throw it into this it its. So my mission is clear but from start to finish there rich trail is about 170 kilometers long uphill downhill always along the crest of the thuringian forest its going to be exhausting and maybe my shoes will look like this. Along the way ill served here in the Biosphere Reserve. Our v mail this week takes us on a tour of paris. Check in viewer shows us her hometown jakarta indonesia. The 1st section of the stock is uphill of course fortunately its a low Mountain Range here in the thuringian forest so i dont have to huff and puff my way out to 2 or 3000. 00 metres. All in all the tree is stretches 170 kilometers some hikers do the whole thing in 6 days others in 8 or 10. These artists along the way let us know were on the right path. Has plenty of rest areas and observation points. From this bench you have a great view of bach book castle above eyes and.

Here a revolutionary act because anyone who could read now i had access to it. A little too. Little wasnt the 1st to translate the bible but he did it very well and he did it from the original greek not just from latin into german.

And in 865 in this house the composer Johann Sebastian bach another a lustrous eyes are not native was born the house is now a museum. You can round off your tour advisor not with typical of the region potato dumplings and a bottle of luther why of course at the foot of the pot book. There are lots of things to see and discover on both sides of the fence take rich trail like tools its not a waterfall. The waterfall is artificial as small river has been dammed up here and forts 58 meters to the ground. By the way was 1st mentioned in the 14th century as a border between franconia and truly get that many boundary stones are still standing. And now i face my biggest challenge in.

Now for a turn on the wii flyer. My last stop here on in suspect the Lookout Tower 930 metres and the top. On one side forest as far as the eye can see. On the other side transmitters is its Back Mountain and at the very back i can actually see voc book castle. Here on the in the back now is a youth hostel right next to the game strike and there are also a lot of patients in the vacation spots along the hiking trail but the most unusual one is probably.
