What is worth waiting for! Today we went on our tour together with @®️egiWanderwoman. - WF- 🚶🏼‍♀️🥾🎒🦣 from Lorch. 😊
You could rely on the train 🚊 and so it went on time from Lorch in the direction of the monastery, Schelmenklinge. The rogue blade is lovingly designed and interesting for young and old 😍, and can also be easily …

What had been a long time finally came true.
Today @Annett and I went hiking together. Since we both took the train to the starting point, Lorch (Württemberg), our tour also started there. First it went up, past the monastery, to the prankster blade. Interesting for young and old to see what can be driven with hydropower.
Then we climbed …

I've been wanting to do this small but lovely walk for a while and since the weather was rather changeable today, it was a good fit.
From the train station we went to Lorch Monastery with the Roman watchtower, from which you have a beautiful view. The path then led into the forest and past Lorch Ness 🤣 At the …

July 1, 2023,Schelmenklinge und Himmelsleiter von Lorch 🤩mit Greifvogelschau 🦅

Made our maiden voyage today and to Lorch to see if the rogue blade would be something for our grandchildren ☺️
Unfortunately, there was an almost
20 km detour to Lorch 🙈
The blade itself is super beautifully made and with really nice details, really worth it 👍🏻
On the way the Schillergrotte and back in a big arc, unfortunately …

A very nice and varied round. Paths very different from very narrow to asphalt, everything was there. Good shoes are required when it rains, especially for the prankster's blade and the ladder to heaven.

Nice round ideal in the weather. The ambience in the autumnal Swabian Forest was really nice. The Lorch monastery was also worth seeing.
