August 12, 2023,Schwalmtal 2023: Blitzenrod - Storndorf - Wallenrod - Lauterbach - Blitzenrod

Today again with my wife a tour to the Schwalmtal. Start was again at the old train station in Blitzenrod. After Ober-Sorg we didn't go to Renzendorf, but up the road to Hergersdorf. From there via Wallenrod to Lauterbach and via the Vulkanradweg back to Blitzenrod.
The usual culinary stop at the market square in Lauterbach was canceled this time.
