Taking advantage of the glorious weather once more today, I set off into the Oberpfälzer Wald to walk this marked trail around Vohenstrauß.
I was aware of the high proportion of asphalt in advance, but after the rain of the last few days, it was a good option to avoid sinking into the mud.

I had wanted to visit the Esperhöhle for a long time, so today I set off from Gößweinstein.
From the sports field, I first passed a few caves and grottos before the castle and basilica of Gößweinstein appeared before me. I quickly left the town again and hiked through forests and meadows via Leutzdorf

Familiar paths, as well as new, unknown paths across the forest due to grazing.
While the deer managed to escape the camera, Mr. Rabbit kindly hopped towards me again after initially disappearing into the thicket.
Always beautiful in the local surroundings, especially after the urgently needed rain.
