Allenfeld Parking Area and Trailhead — Sonnenrunde (Sun Loop)

Highlight • Parking

Small car park with a map of the local hiking trails. The sign on the subject of garbage is worded funny, but bad enough that something like this has to be attached at all...

Today was our traditional spring hike from Gebroth. In light drizzle, we started this hike around Allenfeld, always in search of the first "Blimmelcher" (flowers).
