Circular hiking route - "Adventure route around Trusetal" - Thuringian Forest

From the bus station car park, we walk about 150 m in a northwest direction towards Hofberg. Once the plateau is reached, we have a first beautiful view of the district Herges. Our hike continues towards the second district, Elmenthal. After walking through the short forest section, we see the beautiful Elmenthal at our feet. Our view goes over a beautiful valley. On the other side, we can already see how our further path continues. After we have walked through the district, we see Elmenthal once again from a different perspective. Now we are at the "Elmenthal forest stadium", a very nice small sports facility. Our hike goes in the direction of the "Devil's Pulpit". There is a beautiful legend about the pulpit. From the "Devil's Pulpit", the hike goes to the Trusetal waterfall, the landmark of our town. Here you can learn a lot about the history of the place. The waterfall also invites you to take a short break. The hike then continues southwards. We walk around the beautiful Oak Head with one last look at the waterfall. From the platform, there is the possibility to photograph the waterfall in all its beauty. After we have walked around the Oak Head, we leave the forest. We let our eyes wander and already see the Wallenburger Tower nearby. The tower is also a beautiful destination and a hike is worth it (circular route 5). Our hike continues towards Trusetal. Along the way, we walk through beautiful winding alleys before returning to our starting point.
