In the beer garden we had a delicious 🍺 and a snack. Then we continued towards Steinfeld. Pure enjoyment of nature. In Steinfeld we somehow took the wrong path through the …

The Paradise Valley is an "oasis of peace."
From the hiking car park just after Wölkendorf, passing under the A70, you're at the entrance to the Paradise Valley in just a few minutes.
Framed by slopes with bizarre rock formations, past lush flowering meadows and numerous butterflies.
Wonderfully green nature, far from the noise of the road, pure tranquility.
Worth …
