Today we went towards Geiselwind. To the empire. Overall very nice tour with some up and down again. Very muddy at the moment so you should have good shoes with you.

Today we went hiking again in the Steigerwald region. The tour was as always from me from the Rother hiking guide.
This tour would definitely have been nicer in summer, but you never know that beforehand :)
You can't stop off during this hike, so always take a nice snack with you.
All in all very mixed. Partly not so …
