Bockberg: Summit Cross and View over the Ries Crater

Highlight • Summit

Wouldn't have thought to see a memorial stone for the fallen gymnasts of North Swabia up here. Maybe they should still be able to enjoy the beautiful view.

Today we completed our tour for the Xtreme March rest run.
We started in Harburg and went over the Wörnitz. We went steadily up to Harburg Castle...we looked at everything we could in the courtyard...and then continued hiking through the surrounding area. The nature was completely covered in frost and the sky was almost falling on our heads. But even …

Tour to Harburg in the best weather and a stop in the Waldschänke Eisbrunn for lunch were open today 😋🌞 The high water levels at the bridge were very interesting. And a top lounger with a view of the castle and the surrounding area, but unfortunately too windy today to rest there longer😉

It is part of the characteristic hilly landscape that makes the entire Ries rim a beautiful hiking area.
From my starting point at the …
