March 25, 2024,Donzdorf - Parkplatz Messelberg, kurze abendliche Runde zum Messelstein -

After the rainy days, we went for a little walk around the Messelberg today with sunshine and beautiful light. The already cool temperature was made even worse by the cold easterly wind. The low sun bathed the landscape in a special light. It was cold this evening, but nice up there on the mountain.

A short evening tour from the Messelberg parking lot to the Messelstein and via the Traufweg to the paragliding launch site and back to the parking lot. Under a cloudless sky, the evening sun bathed the Kaiser Mountains in a beautiful light, which unfortunately doesn't fully capture the beauty of the photos. I arrived at the paragliding launch site just …
