September 2, 2023,Um den Schießberg herum nach Buttenheim auf den Georgen Keller

After the weather was fantastic again today - for once we went on a tour on Saturday.
There is a lot of activity in the cellar but no long waiting times.
The view from Georgen Keller of Buttenheim and as far as Bamberg is always beautiful.
