Since the weather was supposed to be rather poor this weekend, and even snow was forecast for the Black Forest, I accepted an invitation to Taubergießen today.
Despite all the forecasts, we were lucky and it stayed dry up above.
A cozy little hike that's sure to be very nice in spring.

A complete contrast to yesterday:

Today, under brilliant sunshine and spring-like temperatures, the hike was a delight from beginning to end! 🤩🔝

The contrast between the expansive dry meadows and the riparian forest crisscrossed by streams could hardly be greater.

The Taubergießen nature reserve is incomparably beautiful here (especially near Dornskopf)! 🤩

Today we went to Kappel-Grafenhausen near Ettenheim. Europa-Park Rust is very close by. The Volkssportfreunde Kappel-Grafenhausen had invited us to the GTW (Grand Prix de l'Horloge). The route led through the Taubergießen nature reserve. On the lean meadows, we saw blooming orchids, and in between, we repeatedly passed various lakes, the so-called Altrhein Armen (Old Rhine arms). The frog concert …

Very nice little hike.
Much past the water, beautiful pieces of forest. Nature reserve
You should wear waterproof shoes as you sometimes cross a stone bridge that is slightly flooded.
Whether it depends on the season, I can't say

Nothing interesting
Pfff, so much car travel for not much

A wasted day
