Today, in perfect hiking weather, we went from Borstein near Lautertal-Reichenbach to Auerbach Castle and back via Fürstenlager. Great tour 👍, but not that easy 😁.

August 22, 2026,Fürstenlager, Alemannenweg und Nibelungensteig

Great tour, Auerbach Castle is definitely worth a visit. Ruins are well preserved and the view is very nice. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed today.
Then we went to the sea of rocks, it was always impressive what kind of stones there were. And the kiosk above the sea was also open. 🥳
Finally, we crossed the prince's camp. Very …

The path initially leads through the princely camp and goes directly into forest and meadow. Light fog, coupled with brief …
