December 29, 2023,Schlossruine Daisbach – Burg Neidenstein Runde von Waibstadt

I had to take advantage of the currently dry weather again. The start (and finish) of my tour today was at Waibstadt train station. The tour initially leads through Waibstadt before heading into the fields and through forests. Today some people were out in the forest to “make wood”. I could hear up to four chainsaws at the same time. …

The fresh green in the forest and on the meadow is a treat for the eyes and the yellow of the rapeseed should not be forgotten🤩
We …

As is usual in Kraichgau, it was a constant up and down, but the view back to Neidenstein alone was worth it.
Except for the forest section, …
