June 3, 2022,Schwabenheim Engelstadt Schick's Pavilion. 11000 Mägde Turm

First of all, thank you very much on Veronika 2020. I found a lot of suggestions for new tours.
The tour should not be run in summer temperatures. Gets very hot.
The highlights of the tour for me are Schick's Pavilion and the 11000 Maids Tower as well as the telegraph pole and the winery next to it
