A very nice tour, taken directly from the Franconian Switzerland day tours. We had a very good meal at the brewery restaurant in Aufseß, but unfortunately, the service was very unfriendly. Kathi Bräu was unfortunately closed. The tour is highly recommended.

The sun is shining from the sky, so what the heck, we quickly shortened a 32 km at Plankenfels so that it became 42 😅
A beautiful sunny round over meadows and fields of the Franconian Jura came about.
Unfortunately the planned restaurant in Plankenfels was closed, so we went back to 'Zum Lausbub', it was good 😋
