October 3, 2026,Von Wittlingen zur Burg Hohenwittlingen und zur Wolfsschlucht ⛅️🥾😍

Ist das schön 🤩 mit dem Cabrio hinauf auf die schöne Alb und einfach genießen 🤗 die Gegend hat echt sooo viel schönes zu bieten und ich bin immer wieder begeistert neues zu entdecken 🥰 die Wolfsschlucht allein ist schon genial aber die Schillerhöhle ist auch absolut beeindruckend 🤗 da kann man locker 100 oder 200 Meter reinlaufen 🤩
