Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tour as a hiking tour ☝️There are simply too many asphalt passages

I actually just wanted to see the status of the demolition work at the Turmberg mountain station. This turned into a big Turmberg loop over the Hohenwetterbacher orchards, the poplar avenue, the Rhomashof and the Rittnert. And the sun 🔅did show itself towards the end of the tour, just in time for the great view from the Turmberg🤩
