2-4°C, ideal temperatures for a hike on Christmas Eve.
The rain of the last few days has left its mark.
Nevertheless, a very attractive tour, overwhelming size of vineyards, picturesque half-timbered buildings. Town between Enz and Neckar, impressive.

How wonderful it is to know each other for over forty years!
I only see some of my friends from school once or twice a year, but you only get that closeness when you've known each other since childhood. Wonderful and so precious ❤️!

It started in Besigheim. From there a hiking trail leads via Hessigheim to the rock gardens. I found the upper ridge path particularly beautiful; from the path there are wonderful views of the Neckar and the vineyards, as well as the rocks.
The detour through the center of Besigheim was definitely worth it... what a beautiful old town!
The weather …

Finally being able to do the rock gardens during the week, except for three climbers we were alone. Very different views 😘💯 then on to Besigheim for coffee. From Besigheim back up to the rock gardens, the way goes along the road, not so great🤷‍♂️🤔

Always a beautiful walk, but hardly any shade. Shortly after the Hessigheim wine press, you can either go straight ahead along the tarred road or turn right up and above the rock gardens. You should not be afraid of heights, though.
