August 7, 2021,04.09.21 !! Egerquelle und Burgruine Schenkenstein

Annoyingly, our wonderful tour was deleted again despite being saved correctly 🥴🤔 So the data does not completely correspond to the route we actually walked, because, as you can see, we climbed up to the Schenkenstein castle ruins ... A worthwhile detour and a successful end to this fantastic hike through an area where others go on vacation 😁🤩

Today we went with @Nicole mit Henry and Henry to Aufhausen near Bopfingen.
We took a leisurely stroll to the source of the Eger and from there up into the forest to the other side to the Schenkenstein ruins 🏰
A small but always beautiful walk, today even completely deserted 😍👍👍
