Many 💝 thanks to my favorite sister for the great hike and this beautiful day together - in subtropical 😅 climatic conditions.

Starting at Marie-Kreuz-Platz, the tour took us along the very beautiful ALTEN SCHULWEG🙃 up to the Geishöhe and up to the Ludwig-Keller-Turm, in a loop on the Kulturweg back down to Dammbach.

Finally went on a tour again after the long heat wave. The old school path in Dammbach is a worthwhile destination and nice to walk.
