Again and again a nice tour, this time with a detour at Hendelhammer because of the new construction of the path and the bridge over the Selbbach. The path from the edge of the forest to Hendelhammer is also closed due to construction work, but was easy to drive on Sunday (paved gravel path).

May 28, 2023,Eisvergleich: Selb und Arzberg 🍦

ice comparison. Ice cream parlor Selb against those in Arzberg. Ball price for both €1.40 per ball. However, I must say that the ball as well as the waffle in Arzberg was larger. Taste was the same for both. But in terms of size, the ice cream parlor in Arzberg clearly wins 🍦
