Beautiful hike in blustery winds, with light rain at first and cool temperatures. Beautiful views of the Main Valley, and later, the sun even came out now and then☀️🍁🍄 It was another great tour with my favorite person 🥰

A beautiful hike from Saupurzel, above Karlstadt, through the Kalbenstein Nature Reserve to the Edelweiss. The narrow paths above the Main Valley offer beautiful views of Karlstadt, Karlburg, and the Main Valley with its railway and boating routes.
