Impressions of today's hike on the paradise tour in Herrenzimmern. Beautiful 13 kilometers high with a view of the Swabian Alb. The Marienkapelle and the castle ruins were great highlights of this hike. There was also a stamp for the Camino de Santiago.

I'm extremely glad that we once again walked the loop in the opposite direction to the "normal" direction. Because within the first few meters, we almost broke down with the cart on an unmown meadow path. If that had been at the end, I would have had a bad memory. 😜
And I, the hiker, would have cursed terribly.

😜 Attention. At the very beginning of the tour I wasn't paying attention again and went straight ahead instead of turning left to the castle. But since I like looking at new houses, it took me a while to notice that something was wrong. 😂 If you like looking 🏡🏠🏘️, you can follow me, the others should turn left below …
