Nice tour with some altitude. Can also be planned as a circular route.

April 19, 2025,Von Hohenstaufen nach Rechberghausen 🍀🫶🏰🌳🙋‍♀️🐾☀️

Hello fellow hikers,

I had actually planned a long hike today, but I'm still not fully recovered, so I decided to take the best shuttle service, la Mamma 😍, and just do a one-way tour.

My plan was still to walk to Nassach or even Reichenbach...but my body decided otherwise...
