October 10, 2021,50 IVV Wanderung in Reichenbach

Today after a very long time again on a hiking day. We were traveling with Ramona and Stefan. We decided on the medium tour. The weather was fantastic and the hike led us through the forest and along the Philosophenweg. Had a lot of fun reading the sayings and the accompanying pictures. It was another very successful hike.
