October 4, 2022,im Weidenbachtal

Through the Weidenbach valley from the hiking car park/war grave site.... The wide views before and after the forest section are simply fantastic and in the Weidenbach valley itself we found pretty much everything that makes the hiker's heart happy... Root paths ✅ Meadow paths ✅ Hollow paths ✅ Stream ✅ Exciting creek crossing ✅ great Buchenwald✅
