December 25, 2022,Hormesweiher – Runde um Eckenhaid

Digestive hike on Christmas Day. Unfortunately all the snow is gone. At 10 degrees and some sun we started at the Eckental fitness park. Beautiful round around corner Haid without large differences in height. We didn't know the Eckenbach Gorge either.
