Circular hike - Ring path Meiningen - Werra Valley

From the south of the city, the ring path leads up to the Kreuzberg and the hut of the same name at 390 meters elevation. Here the first ascent is rewarded with a magnificent view of Meiningen before continuing towards Dreißigacker. After passing the village, the path leads past wide fields back towards Meiningen. After a few kilometers, you reach the Diezhäuschen, a popular viewpoint above the castle. Past the Schaubach Hut, the route continues along allotment gardens over the Eselsbrücke back into the town. After a walk through the Helba district, the ascent leads up to the Drachenberg and reaches the Friedenseichen viewpoint. Here, a memorial stone recalls the arrival of the Russian tsar in Meiningen in 1813. It then continues over wide paths in the east of Meiningen. Here you have another chance to look over the city before returning. After crossing the Werra River, you reach the starting point of the route again.
