August 24, 2022,Ludwigsthaler Runde

The first half leads through a beautiful, idyllic forest landscape. Many streams accompany the hiker along the entire route, the last stretch is a very wide gravel road, with car traffic and many cyclists, which is a bit of a shame, but there are few gradients that are easy to hike. good ways.

Thank you Max, it was a nice tour too. Only the weather wasn't that good.

Deep relaxation on very simple paths 😊 the babbling of the brooks and the flat paths through the green forests (we don't have them in Franconia) reinforce the impression of a leisurely day.
Well, there are a lot of people walking around and the beer garden is well attended, but people prefer to spend their time outdoors than at home …

My husband was here for work - so I decided to take a vacation and use the nice weather for this easy hike😊
The Schwellsteig is the most beautiful, otherwise there are many forest roads and unfortunately a very large area of beetle-infested wood in this area😪

Do something good for the environment and use public transport to get to your tour:
Ludwigsthal train station (Waldbahn) or Haus zur Wildnis stop (Falkensteinbus line 7150)
