October 26, 2021,Wanderung nach Burgruine Windeck

260 meters in altitude, that's easy. Friends, these vertical meters were tough and it was so steep that you need really good shoes and tight calves. It's full through the forest and sometimes the paths are not that easy to see.

The tour starts through the place that I liked very much. Parking is "manageable".
