May 31, 2024,🌦️😵‍💫☠️ Fränkischer Gebirgsweg- Schwedensteig - Püttlachtal - Pottenstein - Klumpertal - Jägersteig
As I had an appointment in Betzenstein at lunchtime and the probability of rain was only 17%, I thought I'd combine the two and have a look at Franconia. So I quickly picked out a tour from @walltho and changed it a bit. I was surprised that he hadn't included the Schwedensteig, OK, so I included it in my plans. …

Very nice flow trails, not very technical. Püttlach and Klumper are beautiful valleys with large rocks and clear water.
