A beautiful day! In an idyllic place on the Elz. After our hike yesterday, today we took a short walk to the Löwenburg and Phillipsburg above Monreal. The old half-timbered houses are lovely to look at. The wild meadows here are also in bloom. The simple viper's bugloss stands out in its blue color. It's worth a visit.
