Selected alternatives for you

    The circular hike takes you to the "Kleiner Kranichsee" nature reserve. This is one of the best-preserved moors in the upper low mountain regions. But it is not only the Kleiner Kranichsee that is worth seeing, the hiking trail takes you to Oberjugel, a district of Johanngeorgenstadt, where you can enjoy a wonderful view. Another new attraction on the circular hiking trail is the educational plant trail at the Henneberg restaurant. Here you can see plants that otherwise only grow in the raised bogs.

    Marking: white-yellow-white

    ATTENTION: From October 2021, the hike will be signposted as "Rundwanderweg Henneberg/Oberjugel".

    Roadbook

    The circular tour begins and ends at the miner's square. It leads to the particularly interesting "Kleiner Kranichsee" nature reserve at an altitude of 930 m. You walk past the Pferdegöpel in the direction of the ski jumps. Continue along the Henneberger Flügel until you reach the T-junction with Eisenstraße. Keep left and after approx. 150 m you will reach the "Hochmoor" information board. You will reach a wooden viewing platform via a meadow path and a boulder dam. From there, walk back and continue via Henneberg to Oberjugel.

    Follow the signposts around Oberjugel on the left. Turn off in the direction of Lehmergrund, cross the stream and follow the mining nature trail to Pferdegöpel and return to the starting point.
