Actually it should have been a little smaller. The detour to the Rauben and Teck ruins were not planned, but they are always a good choice in this beautiful weather
I didn't know the Neidlingen waterfalls before and it was really beautiful. We went back over the Zipfelbach Gorge and finally enjoyed the view from Breitstein.
