February 13, 2024,Oberschloss Kranichfeld - Stedten

Sunshine in the permanent gray - so let's get out!
On the ridge above the Ilmtal it went from the Oberschloss to behind Stedten. There are no spruce trees up here anymore, but there are beautiful views.
The cycling and hiking trail between Stedtener Mühle and Kranichfeld should be open again for the new season.
