Yesterday, in the middle of the wild garlic bloom, I was looking forward to the trail again. But unfortunately, it largely fell victim to forestry work. Hope it recovers by next year.

Along the Stupfericher Grenzweg there are many spots with beautiful views over the fields and Stupferich and the Nordschwarzwald in the background. And almost as many benches 😉

Wonderful views over Durlach, Karlsruhe and the Rhine plain. The vineyard path is well worth a detour.
