August 22, 2024,"Aa50" Runde Grüna mit Burg Rabenstein

There were 58🦵🦵 on the road and we were able to explore quite a lot.
The paths were easy to walk on and for the most part well-maintained.
Nevertheless, I was a "fallen girl"🤷‍♀️ I don't know why. But nothing happened. I got up 👑 and carried on. 😅

Here a castle, there a game gate, here a castle, there a tower that wants to be climbed. There were also plenty of places to rest along the way, …

I thought it would be a bit cooler in the forest. But there were many sunny sections. The former railway line is being expanded, so the cycle path will be extended.
Ice cream reward at Rüllis.
