After a little mishap, I was finally able to see a doctor today 💉🩺.

On Saturday the weather was very nice, so we decided on the new Spessart track in Lettgenbrunn (neighboring village).
We started at the mine throwing ground parking lot, then we continued through the Scheiberwaldsgrund, over the Hatgesberg to the height of the Weinstrasse.

Here we had really wonderful distant views with a wonderful blue sky.
