May 13, 2024,Eselsburger Tal von Heidenheim - eine Tour mit Wow-Effekt

A really beautiful tour. The Eselsburger Valley is a real highlight with a postcard idyll. It is said to be quite crowded there at the weekend. We were surprised by a thunderstorm on the way, but were able to take shelter at Falkenstein. From there you have a wonderful view of the Eselsburger Valley.
