Today, our 14-person hiking group from gehsport.de set out from Donaustauf on a circular hike. We visited the Donaustauf Castle Ruins, the Chinese Tower, and Walhalla, among other places. From there, we hiked back via Sulzbach an der Donau. In Donaustauf, we attended the Maypole raising ceremony and had a great time.

Today was actually planned as a rest day...
Well, it was rescheduled at short notice 🤣🤣🤣
