November 10, 2024,Forsthaus Sylvan Runde vom Schleiftor🥾🌲🍄‍🟫🍁

Today we hiked in thick fog from Schleiftor to Forsthaus Sylvan🥾🌲🍄‍🟫🍁 .
Despite the fog, we really enjoyed the circular walk👍👍, just getting out into nature.

July 13, 2022,Faun Schleiftor Sylvan

today on the other side of Faun past the grinding gate to Sylvan, well I wouldn't do it again, the only good thing is that there are lots of raspberries along the way. Forsthaus Sylvan is closed until July 24th, 2022 for vacation. The Karlshöhe is completely closed.
