Bench by the Old Oak

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the few rest benches in this area. The old oak tree has a particularly bizarre appearance! To the right of the bench runs a very beautiful forest path (initially parallel to the forestry road).

Contrary to all weather forecasts, wonderful hiking weather. If I had known that beforehand. At least it was enough for an afternoon walk on well-known paths, and I still managed to find dinner...

Haven't been to Rosenthal and Stauf Castle this year...that definitely had to change 😉
It's great that the year starts like this - let's keep it up 👍
