Today's tour led along the Steinbach, which later flows into the Gutschbach, through a colorful autumn forest. Short visit to the Margaret Church in Steinbach and the ruins of Steinburg Castle. And in Steinbach there is a country inn where delicious cooking is done.

A fantastically beautiful hike through orchards and field paths lined with blossoming cherry trees. Nature is exploding so quickly at the moment that you can't keep up with looking and enjoying it. This route gets a big 👍 today.
