October 16, 2022,16.10.22 Altfels-Gipfel Maunert (416 ÜN) Runde ab Bahnhof Taben-Rodt

Today I started my hike from the Taben-Rodt train station and over various forest paths and paths such as (Kasteler Felsenpfad) past the Altfels then to the Kreutz Maunert summit and then back to the starting point.

It was fun to hike again in this somewhat damp forest, to hear the birds chirping.
