October 29, 2022,Von Völkersweiler zur Ruine Lindelbrunn und Cramerhaus

A beautiful landscape. The area around Völkersweiler is dreamy, with meadows, forests, mountains and rocks. 👍
It's not lonely. The path to the Cramerhaus is heavily frequented by foot soldiers 🚶🏽🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️. 😉I could have ridden the wide path by bike 🚴🏻‍♂️.
The Lindelbrunn ruins were the highlight, I've never been there (can even be managed with a pram).
