Luisenbrunnen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Those who arrive here from the Murgtal via the narrow, steep path will be very happy about the cooling water of the fountain. The namesake was the grand dukes Friedrich and Luise of Prussia.

Fee-Schlapper Hut at Binsenwasen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Interesting construction, the "Fee-Schlapper-Hütte" at Binsenwasen. Nicely located on the pass between Merkur and kleinem Staufenberg and something different than the "usual" mountain huts.

Today was the day, the new "Velo" was unpacked and adjusted. I did the last check again and then I could only enjoy the route 🤩. The resume, just great.

After yesterday's run it was time to shake your feet this morning. What is best recommended here, by bike up to the Merkur 😉. Via the butterfly path past the Luisenbrunnen directly up. On the way home at the castle was Akka with her extended family, Nils didn't show up 🙈 Greetings and have a nice start into the week.
