Then over the Herzogstuhl to the Rieseneck hunting complex. From there via the Green …

Everywhere, creation and striving stir,

Super nice, relaxed Whit Monday round in the best weather with many great highlights. Exhausting, uphill, downhill... 700 HM in total. But it was really worth it and the tour is definitely highly recommended... 😃🥰👍🏻
