March 11, 2024,Odilienberg: Heidenmauer (Nordroute) mit Hagelschloss

The tour along the Heidenmauer is always beautiful. You walk through pine forests and on paths with soft forest floors, simply fantastic. The tour around the ruins of the hail castle is definitely worth it, it goes up and down on narrow paths.

A short stroll for two to combine business with pleasure. The useful: stock up on Riesling in Barr at Hering, one of our favorite winegrowers, the pleasant: walk on the trails around Mont Saint-Odile.

Wonderful Mont Sainte Odile 🌟. The different rocks, the pagan wall, the undergrowth and I forget some, made us have a good time.
Don't rely on the circuit, we did a loop that connected point A to B. Network problem and forgetting to download the offline ride 😱
