On the way home, we made a stop in Regenstauf.
@KleeneSchnecke hadn't heard of Walhalla yet, and my last visit was several years ago.

There's a lot of information about Walhalla online, so I'll …

Today, our 14-person hiking group from gehsport.de set out from Donaustauf on a circular hike. We visited the Donaustauf Castle Ruins, the Chinese Tower, and Walhalla, among other places. From there, we hiked back via Sulzbach an der Donau. In Donaustauf, we attended the Maypole raising ceremony and had a great time.

One day to Regensburg please... Walhalla has been on the list for a while, so let's see what there is to walk there. We first went up, then back to the car park, to take a beautiful forest path to the Hammermühle. From there we were supposed to go to the castle ruins, but we missed a path, so we …
