View from Hohenurach Castle over Bad Urach and the Erm Valley

A fascinating view of Urach and the Ermstal. From up there you can still see where the city walls used to stand in Urach.

Brühlbach Stream

Highlight • River

At night you can even go without a flashlight. The path is just enough that you do not stumble and you can orient yourself by mirroring the stars in the water where the stream is.

After another week in the big city of Frankfurt, today's plan was green 💚.
So a detour to Bad Urach to the waterfall and the Hohenurach ruins...it was so beautiful and felt really good.

On the way I spotted a beetle which, according to the search, is an Alpine longhorn beetle.

It's worth setting off early, even if it's still cool. There's not a soul around, so you can take nice photos of the waterfall 😊. Fancy Elefantös will be on board in the future 🥳🥰
