My solo trip with my brother's dog, Nala. Beautiful, easy to walk route, the "Himmelssteig" signs are relatively easy to spot

The Stephanshäuser Himmelsteig is a tour with a varied landscape, beautiful clearings open up again and again, making it a good route in somewhat cloudy weather, because dense forest is followed by bright meadows and there are wide views. Certainly also very beautiful in autumn, with colorful foliage.

After Silke had finished work today, we drove to Stephanshausen spontaneously and without further ado. Some time ago we saw a sign for the "Stephanshäuser Himmelssteig" while driving through it and put it on the list of planned paths.

Well...wrong day perhaps. Up to Johannisberg, wine and winegrowers dominate. Stephanshausen has none of that.

Instead of sun, it was constant rain. I had imagined something different for a Sunday tour.

You often lose the signs, you take the wrong path.

Only saw 2 of the sky loungers. The path is lonely and there is a lot of forest.
