July 27, 2023,Von Bad Sulza zur Eckartsburg

Today a little round in Bad Sulza. It went to Eckartsburg. The way there in the rain. As a reward, the castle was closed for about 2 years. You have to do some research beforehand. The way back is then almost a complete panorama trail. The highlight of the tour.
