May 1, 2025,Wanderung zur steinernden Rinne von Eresbach nach Berching

On May 1st, I went on a wonderful tour in the Altmühl Valley, with everything your heart desires: lots of sun, just the right amount of shade, fantastic natural monuments, and finally, a beautiful old town with an almost intact city wall and two Komootlers who had chosen the same tour. What more could you want? ⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🤘🤩
