When the weather is nice you can watch the gliders fly at take-offs and landings. For children super exciting. It's even nicer to visit the annual glider field festival. The air shows and the supporting program are just great.

The Neanderland discovery loop "Wasserburg Haus Graven" is very small, so we took the SGV signposted A3 circular tour from Engelsberger Hof, which includes the discovery loop 😇😉
...probably our last tour for the #movementhelps campaign this year.

Very nice tour to unwind! At Hackhausen Castle, it should be noted that the area around it is all private property and should not be entered just like that, especially not from the paths. But if you're lucky like us, meet someone from the family and ask nicely, you might even be allowed to get closer...😉
