April 22, 2023,Burg Reichelsberg Bärlauch Runde (Achtung mit Furt Durchquerung) EF

As always, the tour started at 7 in the morning. Starting with the rather large ruins, it almost only went through small, narrow paths. Sometimes directly along the small river where you have to be careful not to fall in 😊 at the ford, which is not too deep, shoes off and barefoot through. The water was still correspondingly cold …

Today was a great tour. Wild garlic where you could only look. Beautifully blooming. Except for two small stretches, the tour runs only on paths with forest soil. Ideal for someone with a torn knee 🌞🌻👍👍👍

The round suggested in today's MainPost encouraged us to "hike" and it was completely worth it.
The two cafés in Aub are said to have excellent cakes. However, a delicious early dinner was waiting for us.

Unsere heutige Runde sollte uns ins Grenzgebiet von Bayern und BaWü führen. Uns wurde von Komoot die Ruine der Burg Reichelsberg vorgeschlagen und bei genauerer Betrachtung der Umgebung haben wir noch ein Hunnengrab, eine Keltenschanze, sowie eine Wallfahrtskapelle erspäht. Ebenso hatte es uns Aub angetan, sodass wir den kleinen mittelalterlichen Ort als Tourstart wählten.
Los ging es dann dementsprechend in …

We set off really early again :) Our first proper hike this year as it's finally starting to turn green again. We went to a ruin again and immediately associated it with wild garlic. We started at the ruin at sunrise with a great atmosphere. Simply wonderful at that time of day. It was still quite cold but no matter. …
