March 16, 2025,Himmelreich – Galgenhohle Runde von Oberöwisheim

Since the sun was shining in Kraichgau today, we chose this tour. I'd love to do it again because these sunken roads and the landscape were so beautiful.

Nice tour. With a worthwhile detour to the observatory and Astropark, it would have been about 10.5 km.
Halfway up the Himmelreichhütte, good rest area.
