February 18, 2024,Aalkistensee – Kloster Maulbronn

Today another flat stage based on a template from komoot. Start at the free hiking car park in the direction
Eelkistensee. Through the vineyards we reach Maulbronn Monastery de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Maulbronn,
but don't linger too long. The way back wasn't particularly exciting, the sun would certainly have made things better...

A nice hike in itself, but the tour takes you through about 500 meters of blackberry bushes.

I'm 25 years old and also do difficult hikes. I like hiking alone, but sometimes it would be nice to have company. 😊
