May 22, 2022,Stangenstein – Fockenbachtal Runde von Jahrsfeld

It was a scenic and varied tour. You can also go well when it is very warm because you are mostly on shady paths. The only downside is the condition of the path: mostly forest highway (gravel roads) and partly tarred. Beautiful natural paths are the absolute exception.

Actually I wanted to explore Rengsdorf and the surrounding area in more detail today. While researching, I came across today's tour. Now I've walked through the Rengsdorfer Land, but Rengsdorf itself still has to wait a bit.

I found the tour again at ich-geh-wandern.de:
ich-geh-wandern.de/rundwandern-zum-stangestein-im-fockenbachtal
It is the circular route S3, which starts at the market square in Strassenhaus.
