Dwarf Tunnel

Highlight • Trail

Wonderful single trail, as they say in modern German, parallel to the road and so much more contemplative than this. The path continues in the direction of Ortsberg and Himmelsberg.

After the rain, it had cooled down and encouraged us to go for a ride in our local area. On the way back, it got warm again, and now we are @home with a coffee and ice cream in the shade.
