During the week there is not so much going on there. Driving cars on weekdays.
The way back on the other side of the Brenz leads along the edge of the forest (without cars) is almost even more beautiful.

It's been on my to-do list for a long time. I finally realized it today on the way back, and it was beautiful despite the drizzle. The highlight was the personal tour and explanation of the local history museum.

After a long break from city trips, this time we headed towards Franconia. Due to the journey to the start, it was a shorter but quite spectacular tour 👍🏻
