The path is actually not demanding …

From the city of teddy bears we went on the Albschäferweg today. Right at the beginning, a little art along the way...a good start. 😏 We continued up to the ruins of Güssenburg, as well as a section of the renatured Brenz were on the way. This often ran over beautiful meadows and forest paths. The last few kilometers also …
