January 31, 2025,🥾💦Qualitätsweg👌🏻☀️Ruhland Pfad💂🗡️

This afternoon🕛☀️we set off🚗to Frankenhain to finally hike the “Quality Trail Ruhland Path”🎖️. I am familiar with the area with the beautiful🤩“Katzbachtal”💦, but the short, worthwhile path🌳, which was only equipped with new path markings➡️and some information portalsℹ️in 2022, “was still missing”. 🗡️A LEGENDARY HIKING TRAIL!💂

There is plenty of information:
