February 19, 2023,Wieslaufwasserfall – Sternwarte Welzheim Runde von Laufenmühle

A varied path with many information boards worth reading about the history of the earth and the planets. The specified starting parking lot is a private parking lot. We let the host know and had a coffee after the hike. That was okay.
