July 14, 2024,Barfußwanderung "Rotmainauenrundweg Emtmannsberg" XL-Version

This tour is 3 km longer than the marked "Rotmainauenrundweg Emtmannsberg" ( komoot.com/de-de/tour/1428695167 ) and is particularly suitable if you want to explore the "Bodenmühlwand" geotope.
There are up to six marked hiking trails in the Rotmain valley, but there are no places to sit or rest there, and the Schlehenberg restaurant is closed.
