A magnificent rocky landscape. The path here leads between the rocks, with almost no view. Still worth seeing! There's also an information board.

Today I was out and about in Ottenhöfen again. The idea came from the STZ, but only the starting point of the "hiking tip" remains.

Today's round had some very nice highlights and fantastic views.
The Kaiserschmarrn at Fiesenmichel was delicious.
There were a few very nice sections of the trail, but most of them are on wide gravel paths through the forest.
The tour was ok for me today, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for more.
