Bockberg: Summit Cross and View over the Ries Crater

Highlight • Summit

Wouldn't have thought to see a memorial stone for the fallen gymnasts of North Swabia up here. Maybe they should still be able to enjoy the beautiful view.

Tour to Harburg in the best weather and a stop in the Waldschänke Eisbrunn for lunch were open today 😋🌞 The high water levels at the bridge were very interesting. And a top lounger with a view of the castle and the surrounding area, but unfortunately too windy today to rest there longer😉

It is part of the characteristic hilly landscape that makes the entire Ries rim a beautiful hiking area.
From my starting point at the …
