► Sun 11 September: Round hike at Ellenbogen Mountain [11 September 2016]
In the meantime, Eisenach House is again an excursion inn and hotel for Rhön tourists.
The view from the neighboring Ellenbogen [en: Elbow] marked the beginning of our hike in the buff. We descended over mowed hayfields in direction to the village of Kaltenwestheim. Then, we ascented back to the starting point. With 350 m cumulative descent and ascent, the tour was quite challenging at 28°C in the afternoon.
At the end of the day, we arrived at Eisenacher Haus and enjoyed cool and hot drinks, cakes, and ice cream.
