Beautiful circular hike near Zaisenhausen. Start at the Lourdes Grotto in Zaisenhausen. Partly along the path of silence, past the frozen Ottensee, through Mulfingen, via Ochsental back to Zaisenhausen.

A beautiful circular hike with a bright ☀️ light from Mulfingen via Ochsental 🐂 and Zaisenhausen.

The farm shop in Ochsental was a surprise on the way.
The Easter egg 🥚 from the farm shop still tasted good.😉
