Me, no - We first say WOW and again WOW ....

Finally, I got lucky with the weather on the third attempt 🤠. A beautiful circular tour. Mostly paths through the forest and along streams. Plenty of nice places to sit. So, bring some provisions. Especially since there are no places to stop for refreshments 🤷.

A dream through the Moselle valley. For better orientation, I followed the signs exactly.🥾👍
The route is "up and down", on paths and paths, root paths and scree. Behind every climb there was something to discover.
