Walked BT way today, started by d. Parking at Friedenskapelle Nüdlingen. Isn't that far to the actual BT, quiet and didn't have to drive that far. Then in the city, we got lost, so I still have to practice walking according to the signs 😅😅😅 Varied and you can really enjoy the view. We walked counterclockwise.
