Today: the local favorite takes the lead!

And we'll be hiking the entire route. We start at Elsenberg in Braunsbach. Here, the upper forest area of the municipality begins, and the trail climbs steeply – following hiking trail number 3. We follow the steep meanders of the Orlacher Bach (whose source is in Nesselbach, about five kilometers away).
