November 9, 2025,Wandern im Nationalpark Kellerwald 🌳🍁🌱 Runde von Frebershausen

Today, @Andi Unterwegs from the Hercules Hikers invited us to the Kellerwald National Park.

We started in Frebershausen at the hiking parking lot on the edge of town, heading towards Frankenau. The tour took us through the national park to the Quernst Church, along beautiful autumn trails and with some challenging climbs, before returning via Gellershausen 🌲 🌳.
