September 1, 2022,Ruine Balduinstein und Schaumburg - Runde Teil 2
Starting point: Cramberg Gabelstein hiking car park.
The beautiful Schaumburg is currently not yet open to the public.
In a few weeks, the Cafe Marstall in the former riding stables is to be reopened there.
In the former sovereign horse stables were the Hungarian half-breeds of the archduke,
accommodated in a unique ambience.
The first impression was impressive.

2nd attempt - the tour was incomplete the first time. You should download the route as an offline version...

It was a very nice, brisk and entertaining hike with blue skies and lots of sun.

You definitely need suitable footwear in March.
