Our holiday final tour - in summery temperatures we went to the Giechburg and the Gügelkapelle, which is currently being renovated. We had a great holiday in a beautiful corner of Germany with lots of beautiful nature and culture 😊👍

A worthwhile, but steep ascent to the Giechburg, a wonderful all-round view of the region made this tour an experience. Continue on the way to the Gügel pilgrimage church, which you should definitely see. Unfortunately not always open, please inform yourself beforehand at the municipality.
