⚒️ Epprechtstein Labyrinth

Highlight • Monument

Impressive to walk around between the granite blocks. You can't get lost here, but you have to walk a few meters further because there is only one way out of the labyrinth.

Stone Bridge on the Sechsämterradweg

Highlight • Bridge

The cycle path on the former railway line is sanded but is still easy to ride on. It offers a relaxed ride away from traffic with relatively low gradients. We should do this more often!

Finally, we managed to ride in the Waldstein region. Armin, Ekke, Hans-Jürgen and Günter found time to come along. It was a relaxed tour on relatively easy paths with a stop at the "Haisla" (Hallersteiner Turnerheim).
