After-work tour starting with the chattering goose population in Hausheim to the Kaltenbach spring, up to the Dillberg transmitter and back again as darkness falls.

Very nice tour in the best hiking weather. Of course many others had the same idea. Some of the paths were very muddy. Otherwise great. 👍 A stop at the Gasthaus zum Ross was worth it.

Small circular hike with start and end point in Hausheim/Berg near Neumarkt.
Except for the short descent to the spring, the route goes on forest paths and side roads.
