December 4, 2025,Schloß Philppsruhe - Hohe Straße (Via Regia) - XXL-Sitzbank - Rückingen - Runde von Großauheim

The hike started across the Auheim Main Bridge, along the Main River to Philippsruhe Palace, then past Wilhelmsbad towards Hohe Straße (Via Reggia). Of course, we stopped at all the "sights" there (including the XXL bench). The Kapellenhof then offered a welcome break. The return journey took us via Ravolshausen, Langendiebach, and Rückingen.
