Check the weather app and pick a sunny region—Frankenland, that is.
Blue skies ☀️ and 10 degrees, so shorts and off we go.
The sandstone trails are amazing, and then we continue along the Aurach River.
There's a reason this route is one of my favorites.
Apart from the approach and departure from Schwabach, there's hardly any asphalt 👍
