The weather gods were kind to us and we were able to enjoy a largely sunny day of hiking. Exploring the ruins of Falkenstein Castle was a lot of fun. The access is very well developed, climbing skills were not in demand today. From the top you have a wonderful view over the extensive forest landscape.
