Today we went to Wolfstein on the Königsbach-Weg.
I stumbled across this tour by accident last night and we went straight there today.
It was a varied tour that we really enjoyed.
Everything was there...castle ruins, paths, views, beautiful stream, meadows, forests...
and the nice feeling of having a damp forest floor under your feet again. 😊
