November 4, 2022,Veste Otzberg Umrundung Süd

Nice little round from the hiking car park Otzberg.

Easy to walk, no notable climbs (only the ascent to the Veste is a bit steeper for a short time).

Lots of forest with a few pools and brooks, quite idyllic.

From the ascent to the Veste there are always wonderful views.
