January 26, 2025,Rotthausen - Runde an Glörbach und Talsperre

A very beautiful stream valley, although the Glörbach today resembled more of a wild mountain stream. Due to the melting snow and the rain, the ground no longer absorbs anything and all the water flows into the streams. Fortunately, all the paths were still quite easy to walk on without needing rubber boots 👍🏼
