May 6, 2024,Wanderung zur Franzensfeste

Since the weather wasn't great today, but we can use all public transport in South Tyrol for free with the Ritten Card, we decided to take the train to Franzenfeste and go on a nice little hike there. Unfortunately, Franzenfeste is closed on Mondays. But it was still fun.
