October 6, 2023,Raabs: Ritterweg Runde ab JUFA

A beautiful, varied round with beautiful views, but very good footwear is necessary. There are 2 very steep sections on the way towards the ruins, which can be slippery and difficult to walk on when wet!

Navigation has been suspended in the area of the Kollmitzgraben bridge crossing; the recording here is not entirely correct.

October 20, 2024,Wanderung Raabs-Karmitz,- Steg/Ruine/Graben, Sauggern-Lindau-Agrarweg-Raabs

an incredibly beautiful circular hike in glorious weather!
A short coffee break at the ruins with a fantastic view. Unfortunately my battery was empty, we were on the road for 4 hours, just over 11 km.
We had a delicious end to the day at the Liebnitzmühle.
