September 1, 2024,Wanderung Ebermannstadt - Zuckerhut - Wallerwarte – Schlüsselstein

Wonderful hike with lots of shade. I still sweated. Sugarloaf with a beautiful view to enjoy and a nice bench to rest on. The path to Wallerwarte is mostly through the forest. Schlüsselstein is a stone's throw away but should still be taken. The rest is downhill and straight into the beer garden. Well then, cheers 🍻
Conclusion: 4 out …

Hiking day in Franconian Switzerland - you're never wrong 👌😉
And the weather played along great too ✌️

From Ebermannstadt up to the former stables and vantage point on the key stone. Then continue via the Wallerwarte to the Zuckerhut and back through the Birkenreuth valley. The camera got its money's worth again 😀
