Pond in the Schaich Valley

Small pond along the way with a small bench, in the middle of a small island with or out of a rock. Very idyllic to look at.

June 12, 2022,Schaichtal – Schöner Trail im Schaichtal Runde von Dettenhausen

A scenic tour. On the first part the sequoias and in the second part the beautiful valley of the Schaich.

Hello Hello,
actually we wanted to do a bike ride today.
But after we both had some health issues (somehow came overnight 😟), but I felt fit enough to do a longer lap without big climbs, I drove to Waldenbuch to walk the Herzog-Jäger-Path .
