February 12, 2023,Hottenbacher Hof – Steinbruchsee Runde von Billings

The starting point was Billings in Fischbachtal. A district with charm and many beautifully restored half-timbered houses. We continued via the Hottenbacher Hof (ideal for stopping off at the weekend) to the 🏰 Lichtenberg Castle, which we didn't lose sight of as the tour progressed. Overall, a beautiful and varied tour through the Fischbachtal 🌳🌲🐄🐴🐑
