Normally the track is good to drive. Many detours had to be taken today because of flooding. There have been many lockdowns. In Rotenburg you could see the flood from the bridge.

May 2, 2025,Highwalk Rotenburg und Kloster Haydau

Today, the climb wasn't as far, but there were great views from the high walk.

We continued on to Haydau Monastery. A beautifully maintained complex. We didn't go inside. There was no guided tour, but there was a wedding.

The return journey was the same as the outward journey, through fields, small villages, ponds...
