A beautiful circular hike. From forest paths to partly exposed climbs, there is something for every taste. In the last third it goes leisurely over poor meadows and even there there is enough shade. The view from the church rock is an absolute highlight in the lower Altmühltal.

In very humid weather - the mosquitoes loved us - we went on a short hike near Riedenburg today. The tour is mainly aud forest and gravel roads. Perfect. As a reward, a trip to the coffee shop in Riedenburg. It's always worth it.😊
