June 28, 2025,#13_25 🌞🚴👍 Doppelgipfel.... zum Rechberg und Hohenstaufen

Via Staufeneck to Rechberg and Hohenstaufen...

The idea of taking the hiking path or trail instead of the road to Staufeneck was suboptimal👎🙈. It's naturally as narrow as a washcloth at the top, with nettles on the left and thorn bushes on the right... ouch... Our own fault.
