wandering on a small strip of steppe on the ridge of the schmücke hills 🌾🍂🍃 together with a few other ranges of hills it forms the northern border of the thuringian basin, overlooking it quite spectacularly. in medieval times shell lime was hewn up here and you can still find lots of traces from those activities all over the range. it's also a very dry grassland area where you can find rare plants and wild critters. unfortunately you will always hear the sounds of the nearby autobahn, which kind of destroys the tranquility a bit, but visiting is still worth it, especially because of the views, but also to roam around and hide in the stone pits. #thuringia #thuringianbasin #hillranges #kahleschmücke #schmücke #harras #landscapes (hier: Schmücke (Höhenzug)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzF9f6HwVU/?igshid=3g8yxq5n0i92
