April 14, 2024,Rundwanderweg Vilsalpsee & Bergaicht Wasserfall im Tannheimer-Tal 🇦🇹👣👨‍👩‍👧

Went 'on tour' on foot today 😊 Wonderful family trip to the Vilsalpsee and the Bergaichter waterfall. Since it's low season, it was relatively manageable and with spring-like temperatures of up to 20° it was absolutely perfect for hiking.
A dream for biking 😍 I'll have to come by with the bike at some point 😊
