In search of dry and, if possible, sunny hiking weather, this afternoon the route took me to the very worth seeing Roman town of Weißenburg (Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen district/Middle Franconia), where I actually continued for long stretches after an at least dry and cloudy start was able to enjoy a wonderful mix of sun and clouds!
