Yesterday we have had a wonderful hike in the German low mountain region Rhön about 100 kilometres east of Frankfurt/Main. It's of volcanic origon and it truly is a multifaceted landscape - and it is very well marked for hikers. Rhön spreads over the states Hessen, Thüringen and Bayern (Bavaria).
One of the highest mountains here is Kreuzberg with an altitude of 928 m - situated in Bavaria. On its top there's a very popular monastery with a famous brewery ...

My photo was taken at 5°C from up here in a north-eastern direction. Down in the valley you can see the small Bavarian town Bischofsheim with about 5000 inhabitants - in an altitude of 450 m. Weather forecast announced first snow on top of Kreuzberg for today ...

A stitch of two photos.

In map view right hand I put the marker on the position where the photo was taken from.

Hello Frank,
A splendid panorama over this beautifully lit landscape. Lovely autumn tones contrast well with the the cloud ridden sky. Excellent sharpness throughout. Very well done. Greeting from a cool but sunny Charente-Maritime.

Hi Frank - a good one this. Great colour and showing a beautiful landscape. I think that I prefer the smaller version as it is much sharper with less noise.
cheers

Hallo Frank,
This is an attractive and impressive panorama of the Rhön landscape. The fall colours are really beautiful. I like the U formed foreground and the wide view. The gorgeous clouds complete the good impression. No wonder that this is a favourite hiking area of yours!
Greetings from grey and wet Espoo,
