October 20, 2025,Hemmkoppe Viewpoint – Runde von Ziegenrück

I started my tour in Ziegenrück at a free parking lot opposite the kindergarten. First, I walked a bit through the town along the Saale River. I crossed the Saale Bridge, where you have a beautiful view of the Saale and the weir. Immediately afterward, I headed for the forest adventure trail. It's lovingly laid out.
