November 7, 2021,Seebenstein - Türkensturz

From Seebenstein (nature park car park in Bahnstraße) up to the castle, to the Türkensturz via "Alm" and "Sollgraben" (unfortunately no cider).

Spontaneous stop at "Zum Waldhof". Dirty and rustic house with a mountain hut flair. The friendliest hosts and excellent food.
