Hello Heike🦋,
Your tour from last week encouraged us to do something in this beautiful corner again today.
And, I have to say, it was totally worth it. I don't remember ever taking so many photos, it's really embarrassing.
Thank you for the inspiration.

Only about 20 minutes from home and took advantage of the sun on the weekend. Great hike, climb to the Hochhaus castle ruins is tough. Enter at your own risk. The whole route has occasional views of Bach. Really very idyllic and completely alone at this time of year. 🤍🌿🥾

I did the same route at the beginning of the year, but then up to the Hochhaus ruins. This time I skipped the Niederhaus ruins. So many beautiful autumn vibes. Some animals and bright colors. Perfect little Sunday walk. 🍁🌼
