Today the tour in the beautiful Schwalmtal. The paths are very easy to drive on. Even in the longer forest passages there are no complaints. Unfortunately, there are no opportunities to stop off along the way, with the exception of Lauterbach.
I was lucky, the Stehr company celebrated its 40th anniversary in Storndorf. There was a lot going on there. …

The photos can only partially reflect the impressive views in the distance, but they are absolutely good advertising for …
