February 25, 2024,Runde von Gerresheim ab Rathaus zum Rotthäuser Bachtal

A very nice route that I can recommend when it is dry.
Today many sections were under water and we had to walk through mud up to our ankles. I will do this tour again in the summer. At the end you can eat a very tasty cake opposite the town hall.

Back on the road after strolling through the Nuremberg Christmas market a little under the weather last week. Unfortunately, I'm still not quite back to normal.

Instead of the planned 16 km, I only managed 10 km today, but I found new, undiscovered paths. East of Gerresheim is a wonderful place to walk - far away from concrete and asphalt. …
