The sun unfortunately didn't make an appearance.



We were happy about every splash of color we found. 🏵🌸🌼...and we also discovered a carpet of young wild garlic 😋 and a stork in the nature reserve, unfortunately it was faster than we could get our camera out. 🤷‍♀️

Otherwise, it was familiar paths

Today, on Shrove Tuesday, two revelers, dressed as hikers 🤭, set off on a hike. After starting at Wartberg, the sun, blue skies, and a few wildflowers gave us a taste of spring 😊. At the Wartturm, a former signal tower dating back to the 14th or 15th century, we were tempted to take our first photos

The occasion for the hike was a test meal at the Viktoria restaurant in Jöhlingen.



It was recommended to us... It was delicious 🍽🍺 and a birthday party 🎊 could take place there.



We've hiked the route in several variations before.



It was lovely, and of course, the meal had to be earned 🥾🥾

Read about it in the newspaper a few days ago.



Today we headed off to the 333rd Leonberg Horse Market.



A little stroll through the orangery, the old town, a bit of horse-watching, through the very long market, to the city park, and now to watch the parade. Amazing horse-drawn carriages, witches, brass

Today we had a different tour planned.



However, we didn't get going this morning. 🥱 So we had to come up with an alternative route, with a short drive and no carnival crowds.



We chose Gemmingen.



Discovered something new again... I wasn't aware of the castle and the fortress. 🙎‍♀️



We mainly followed the

Today I finally fulfilled a little wish of mine. 😋 After several years – something else always came up – I went snowshoeing again. On the foggy drive from Baden-Baden to the B500 Black Forest High Road, I was a little doubtful 🤷‍♂️ whether the snow conditions would allow it. But what fantastic weather

Since we have family obligations on Sunday...



Today we packed our bags and set off from the front door.



Our destination was the Waldenserbesen (a local inn), at the request of a certain lady.



We walked through the Bretten pedestrian zone, through the old cemetery towards Schneckenbuckel (a hill), and on

I quickly embarked on a local Kraichgau "rainy" hike 🌧☂️. The plan was about 16km from Oberderdingen-Flehingen train station via Gochsheim and Büchig to Bretten. Unfortunately, Komoot let me down several times, repeatedly cutting out the route, so I ended up with four shorter tours saved. I've shared

With this dreary, gloomy weather, a long drive wasn't worth it 🤷‍♀️.



So we started right from our front door.



We'd been wanting to try the pizzeria 🍕 at the Bauerbach clubhouse for a while.



So we headed out of Bretten and into the nearby woods to the four benches 🪑🪑🪑🪑.



Then we turned left towards the

After the foggy, dreary, cold days, the sun finally came out again. I had to take advantage of it for a brisk walk. I took the bike to Bauschlott, a district of Neulingen. In the village center, it was still quite chilly on the shady side, and the trees were dripping with dew from the overnight frost
