August 2, 2025,Alsheimer Hohlwege - Rundweg aus der 3. Etappe des Rheinterrassenwegs 02.08.2025

It's certainly a nice idea from a hiker in the komoot community to turn a stage of the Rhine Terraces Trail into a circular route.

Unfortunately, the weather app didn't do what was promised. At first there was blue sky, but then there were lots of clouds, but dry. On the way home by …
