August 16, 2024,Wanderung rund um das Käppele in Würzburg (inklusive Brückenschoppen 😉)

From the train station, we first go through the city center to the Old Main Bridge and up to the Käppele. Then we leave the well-trodden tourist paths and discover a completely different Würzburg with lonely forest paths and impressive villas. The hike ends with a bridge drink. 😉
