Today we are a little further away from home. That's why we did two tours today.
The first tour is again from the book "Forgotten Paths - Franconian Switzerland".
If you love rocks, you will love this tour too, and the tour name is spot on.

February 22, 2025,Hoch über Burglesau, Würgau und Stübig (Fränkische Schweiz)

Tour from "Forgotten Paths of Franconian Switzerland" by Bruckmann Verlag.

Very worthwhile with many beautiful rock formations and climbing paradises. Some undefined paths, which you can assume have really been forgotten and some are alpine in nature and climbs.

At the end we stopped off at Vogel's Mühle in Burglesau. Very inexpensive and very tasty Franconian cuisine.
