May 21, 2022,Ulrichstein- einen echte Empfehlung für eine Tour bei guter Fernsicht.
Another real premium round, this time in northern Vogelsberg. With good visibility a double pleasure. A detour to the Schlossberg is also an absolute must in such conditions! Even the Rimberg and the bagpipe with its turrets could be seen! Likewise the prominent hill Amöneburg
