January 18, 2025,Rund um Falkenstein 👫🥾🎒🌳

Today we went for a walk around Falkenstein. At the Falkensteiner Gorge over the rocks up to Falkenstein. There we picked up our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter🥰 and had a good meal at the Falkensteiner Hof.
Through the weekend area and the Steinberg then back down to the gorge.
