Today I was out with friends on the Löwenpfade near Göppingen. I thought I already knew the most beautiful tours on the Albtrauf - far from it - and today the weather was great too. The Hohenstaufen and the Spielburg are simply fantastic places.

Sodele, today I have a free head to go for a spin in the new year.
I left late because the sun was waiting ☀️.
Since the Lion's Path isn't that long anyway, it was fine.
It was good to walk as there was some snow on the ice. You just have to be careful at the play castle.

This year I want to run all the lion trails, so today was another one...

I decided on the Staufer circuit. Beginning of the month (people go shopping on Saturdays), not the best weather for nice-weather walkers, February... The signs were good for a crowd with few people. And that's exactly how it was🤩🤩🤩👍
I only met other people on …
