Today's tour took me through beautiful little villages with many lovingly designed gardens.

The road from Zettlitz to Feldbuch is quite busy, so I would recommend that you take the dirt road to the right.

At the end of the tour, a cool pub pool and the natural swimming pond in Rugendorf await you.
