August 14, 2024, Wanderung von Markt Erlbach nach Emskirchen

By train through the beautiful Zenntal to Markt Erlbach. The route is shorter than you might think, the most beautiful part is the one along the Mittlere Aurach to Emskirchen. The hunting lodge right on the side of the road offers a good opportunity to take a rest.
