A pretty loop with constantly changing views over the magnificent cultural landscape of Bliesgau, with the typical mosaic of orchards, forests, and small villages. Especially during the fruit tree blossom, a real feast for the eyes.

This time the wild garlic bloomed beautifully and we smelled it right away too😅 Huge fields of wild garlic, I hadn't thought of that anymore. Or it had already finished blooming 2 years ago, when we were here at the end of May.
