A nice short Spessart track that we walked with the kids. The wildlife park, the swing in the forest and the ice cream afterwards were our highlights.

Little round with my daughter today 😍. The Soden Forest is simply a dream at any time of the year 🥰. Afterwards we went to "Tee & Kaffee", delicious oat milk coffee in an exorbitantly beautiful ambience. Really great discovery!
