This was so much fun! All the rocks!
The trail starts as a trail
It was interesting as the rocks are just in the middle of this farmland.
After a while the trail turns into climbing on the rocks! You could also take a lower route and keep to a trail, but the climbing all over was so much fun!
At the end of the trail by Blankenburg was this rock you could climb on top of
But you had to climb up the steep rocks!
After a short break here it was time to head back towards Timmenrode along a different path
Much more forested
But still rocky
We were walking along and all of a sudden there was this tiny staircase in the ground on the edge of the trail
That lead to this little foxhole! It was pretty cool, just a small room, but would be good if you needed shelter
After our hike we headed back to Thale and decided to wander a bit more around town
We had decided that we were going to go back to Treseburg for dinner where we had a break the day prior as they had lots of options. Along the way was the Rossetrappe viewpoint on the opposite side of the valley than we had hiked so we thought why not stop for a quick peak?
A highlight is this horseshoe print left by a fleeing princess who had to jump across the gorge to escape the guy who wanted to force her to marry him. This was apparently made when the horse landed
This was really gorgeous and I was glad we stopped.
Treseburg
Back at Zur Luppbode for dinner of burgers which were super tasty (but no photos!) This place was a great find and they had a lot of vegan options, but I hadn't see anything about it in my searches for food in the area.
After dinner we decided to go back to the Rossetrappe viewpoint to see the sunset. When we were there earlier it looked like the perfect spot to watch from as the sun would set almost directly across from the viewpoint
Such a fun day! All the hiking and all the views!
