March 22, 2025,Felsenmeer im Erdtal – Felsenmeer Runde von Böhringen

A very beautiful hike in the Erdtal valley, amidst the snowdrop blossoms. The approximately 600m section to Schreckenfels is very narrow. A steep drop through the forest on the right side. With a dog leading the way and occasionally pulling, it's quite difficult. In dry weather, however, it's doable and varied.
