November 14, 2022,Rundwanderung: Von Maria Laach 591 m auf den Jauerling 961 m

The Jauerling is hip today. We start from Maria Laach up the Klaffergraben to the circle, summit cross, observation tower and via Katzental back to Agp.
Afterwards we went with our birthday child for a coffee and cake.

October 16, 2021,3 Gipfelwanderung bei Maria Laach in Jauerling

A nice easy round with three small peaks, the Weißenstein 829m, Burgstock 951m and Jauerling 960m. Of course we weren't always on marked trails or abandoned roads. We took a break at the small snack station in the tower before we went up the many steps. The view was pretty good for the cloudy weather.
