The hike begins at Schloss Elisabethenburg Meiningen, the former residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen. From there you go through the English Garden, one of Germany's oldest landscape gardens, which invites you to relax with its ponds, bridges, and sculptures. After leaving the garden, follow the hiking trail towards Webersbrunen, an idyllic rest area with a spring and a shelter.
The path continues uphill to Hohe Maas, the highest point of the hike at 498 meters. From here you have a wonderful view over the Rhön and, in good visibility, can even see the Wasserkuppe. After a short break, continue to the Cotta Hut, another shelter with a memorial stone for the poet Ludwig Bechstein.
The last section of the hike leads to the Bakunin Hut and back to the starting point at Schloss Elisabethenburg Meiningen.
