...before it gets really hot today. Nice path, mostly in the shade, as the sun is still low and pleasantly cool at the Röthenbach. At 10 am at the end of the tour, it was already 31 degrees 🥵

If there is a lot of ☀️ we start in Birnthon - past the manor house of the same name ... from Ungelstetten we go into the Röthenbachklamm ... always along the Röthenbach and over part of the Franconian dune path ... over many small bridges - more than seven 😂.
