February 24, 2024,Bad Grund, König Hübich Route
Horizontal hiking trail around Bad Grund (although there were still a few meters in altitude).
Very nicely laid out and easy to walk.
Many exciting and interesting sights.
A very muddy affair at the moment.

What a dreary day in January. Nature is also tired and all grey. There was little variety for the eye today.
