I started with @Bruni L. in Hallgarten. From here over beautiful field and forest paths to Monfort Castle and back to Hallgarten.
There was a pretty strong wind 🌬 on the heights and we were glad to get to the edge of the forest or into the forest 😊
It was a very nice round 🥾😀🎒

Always a worthwhile hiking destination.🙂

We visited Montfort Castle again.
It's interesting at any time of year.
The tour through the yellow rapeseed fields and past the blooming broom bushes was magnificent.
