June 24, 2023,Wanderung vom Wanderparkplatz Bad Staffelstein nach Vierzehnheiligen und über den Staffelberg zurück

Today the weather was really nice again 👍🏼☀️😉

Garnished with the right breaks (Nothelfer Trunk Vierlehnheiligen and Staffelberg Klause), the route and the altitude meters seem completely relaxed to us 😇

That's how it should be 👌🏼😉

What a lovely Valentine's Day! 🥰

Attention, we took the wrong descent from Staffelberg! But since there's no turning back 😉 we continued down anyway. Definitely only for experienced hikers. Sure footing is absolutely essential!
