March 4, 2025,Reifenberg 👟 Ausblick aufs Walberla, Biergenießerbank🍺, Vexierkapelle St. Nikolaus

The beer connoisseurs' bench with a great view from Forchheim to Walberla and even further. I will come again and, true to the name, will have a beer with me. From a small local brewery, of course 😉 🍻.
