April 3, 2025,Felsenberg Berntal – Malerisches Berntal Runde von Herxheim am Berg

A short hike through the vineyards from Herxheim am Berg to Leistadt and back. We started at the AlexWein Lounge parking lot. This is a great place to stop after the hike and enjoy a glass of wine or a spritzer in a wonderful setting with a panoramic view.

April 27, 2025,Eine Schwalbe macht noch keinen Sommer

Today I did the Berntal loop and then went for a delicious meal in Bad Dürkheim.
- And the highlight was spotting my first two swallows, so I really can't complain.
Nevertheless, it's not without reason that they say: one swallow doesn't make a summer. And two swallows aren't much different.

October 11, 2024,Es wird langsam bunt im Berntal☺️

After work, we still had time for a little walk in the nearby "Berntal" nature reserve😊. After days of rain, we enjoyed the sun even more🤗. Mischka was in a really good mood and had her crazy 5 minutes😆. The butterflies are now moving more slowly and patiently allowed themselves to be photographed. It was a nice break🤗
