May 3, 2024,Viersteinberg - Runde von Wettelsheim

We started our tour today at the parking lot of the Wettelsheimer Keller. The route runs exclusively along forest paths. When we reached the top of the Viersteinberg, I couldn't believe my eyes when chamois suddenly crossed our path. Back at the cellar, we quenched our thirst and hunger before heading home.
