Today it was a dry short walk in sunshine. This time I didn't follow the description, but followed Lech and Wertach in a contemplative manner. Yesterday's bike paths along the main roads were enough for me. And now: - Pause -

From the weather forecast today should be the worst day of the week. It worked. I had to put in a longer stage to the next accommodation. Half of the way there was continuous rain. The clothes in the backpack stayed dry, the rest not. But a warm shower works wonders. I have now switched from the Schmuttertal to the Lech Valley.

Actually, it should go a little further today, but unfortunately it didn't work out with the pilgrim accommodation in the Holzen monastery. Booked up. That's how I got stuck in Asbach at the federal highway rest stop. But that doesn't matter, everything's okay here. Today I crossed the Danube in Donauw

Today we went over the southern edge of the Nördlinger Ries through a varied landscape to Harburg. After it was initially very cloudy from the night, it cleared up again during the day and so I was able to take a few nice pictures in good hiking weather. The first marathon of my son's girlfriend in Hamburg occupied me the most.

There were gifts along the way today. The first thing I met was the first Thruhiker who was on the romantic hiking trail from Würzburg to Füssen. I hit him from behind and he then explained to me in English that he would run a maximum of 10 km a day. So we wished for a good way and it went on. Well-dressed

From early morning there was sun today. It also got noticeably warmer. So I was able to complete today's route well. It was the longest so far. Since the track would have led me behind Dinkelsbühl on the B25, but the logical way leads through the Nördlinger Tor via a parallel route on the other side

In a very cold, strong wind today, a short stage along the Sulzachtal, always at an altitude of around 500m. The waymarking was different than the track in some parts. I tested the marker and got through just fine. However, it is often difficult to do without a mobile phone. I use OutdoorActive for planning

Since I left the Main Valley, the water has logically come my way again. Today we went up the Tauber Valley to Rothenburg. The ewes were housed with their young lambs in small enclosures. In Rothenburg it was densely clouded, so cold and almost deserted. This is how this medieval town could appear without

After the best breakfast of this trip, we headed straight out of Ochsenfurt out of the Main Valley and up the hills that lead over to the Tauber Valley. In addition to the Via Romea, the Jerusalem way was also excellent in the village. This follows, among other things, the Via Romea to Rome and then

The supposedly short stage turned out to be more strenuous than expected, as it was entirely on the paved bike path. Nevertheless, it was nice to have the Main in view all the time and to stroll through two very beautiful wine villages. This section is also a main pilgrimage route for the Way of St
