It's been 30 years since I was in Thalmässing. Now that I'm already in the area, I thought I'd go for a hike. I chose the archaeological hiking trail. One of three that there are there. In this case, I followed the golden V, which is supposed to show the prehistory on the information boards. It's a beautiful path through …

Beautiful history trail with many information boards. Lots of benches along the way.
At the moment, however, the soil is badly damaged by forestry work.
The paths are like plowed over.
We had to hike through ankle-deep mud or, if that wasn't possible, through the forest.
