Great hike around Hohenneuffen with beautiful viewpoints, great oak trees and also …

A nice walk around the castle 🏰 Hohenneufen. Some sections are quite steep. The rain before made it a bit slippery.
Very nice, also good to walk in summer - with lots of shade. We stopped at the castle and had a good meal 👍
