March 18, 2023,MTB Rundtour zum Schloss Altenklingen bei Kaiserwetter
Partly traily round trip in glorious weather to Altenklingen Castle, I left out the Altenburg ruins that belonged to it today. If you want to learn more about it, I'll link a video at the end.

The oldest castle of the Lords of Klingen in the vicinity was the Altenburg near Märstetten, which was abandoned around 1200 and is now …

I'll start today's tour description with a quote: "When the well is dry, you only appreciate the water" and so the trails in the region are currently "fart-dry".

Today there was a lot of movement in the woods and so I was drawn away from the mainstream on trails and rather unknown paths and that fitted perfectly.

Today, in sunny weather, we went back to the Seerücken and to the great forests according to the motto: "Feel the healing power of the forest to open your senses and draw energy".

Once in Kemmental, the trail leads to the Schleifenrain ruins and then on to the Altenburg ruins, one of the oldest ruins in the canton of Thurgau. …

I'll try to be brief today, and a phrase comes to mind: "Briefness is the spice" :-)

"The sweetness lies in brevity" comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The play about the Danish prince was first performed in 1603. And in the piece there is the following text passage: "Because brevity is the soul of wit, prolixity is the body and expression, …

Today a very spontaneous, casual MTB tour without a lot of frills and with pleasant temperatures. The Bommer Weiher looked special today, no bikers - no hikers and it has really great water lilies.

Something historical about Altenklingen Castle ........
