August 6, 2024,Aquädukt an der Lauter – Abwärts durchs Wolfstal Runde von Rechtenstein

A very relaxed tour to begin with. A bit along the Danube, then through a forest with a moderate incline. Then along the forest and then following the Lauter and the aqueduct. Up to this point, the hiking trails are easy to walk with lots of sun and even more chatter. Hats and Autan (in the forest) are recommended. In …

We drove from the sun to the fog this morning. ☀️ ➡️ 🌫️
But we still wanted to go on the tour. The sun peeked through again and again. It was just a pity that we had almost no vision on the Hochberg. But the route along the Danube and the Braunsel was really wonderful.
