Picture 3 is a bench with a great view. Since there are almost no benches on the tour, you can easily plan them for a rest 🙃😀👍🍀🍾

After a little mishap, I was finally able to see a doctor today 💉🩺. Since I cannot really sit and therefore the office work simply cannot be done, my doctor says I should be on the move as much as possible 😱. That is of course very bitter 🤪🤪🤪. Instead of sitting around, I have to go out into nature …

🥱 The tour is not worth mentioning. You walk all the way around on wide paths 🤷‍♀️

Highlight: today there were three of us: Cole's buddy "Joker" was allowed to run with me on a trial basis - he's supposed to accompany me on the 30km+ laps in the future 😊 He did quite well.

On Saturday the weather was very nice, so we decided on the new Spessart track in Lettgenbrunn (neighboring village).
We started at the mine throwing ground parking lot, then we continued through the Scheiberwaldsgrund, over the Hatgesberg to the height of the Weinstrasse.

Here we had really wonderful distant views with a wonderful blue sky.

Here the trail meets the historic Birkenhainer Straße, a former trade route. From the Wachhütte, the path leads downhill and reaches the starting point at the car park via the Glasgrund and …

Since the track is only 8.4 km long, I added a little extra lap.
