Highlight • Viewpoint

The Keystone is a remnant of days gone by. Unfortunately, the history books are silent about the history of the place. Probably the castle was built in the second half …

The Ebser Stammtisch could also have been set up on the keystone. The weather attracted many ☀️😊

The downhill section is still very slippery in places because there are still patches of ice.

Another area from my childhood days is the cherry area 🌸🍒 around Ebermannstadt.

Here you can walk quite well in the shady forest 🌳🌲🌳 and on weekdays there is almost no one around here. Also this time I'm not alone on the road, so again very comfortable at the pace.
