August 15, 2022,Saaleradweg von Gemünden nach Morlesau

Comfortable tour from the Gemünden school center along the Saale to Morlesau - enjoyed a little refreshment there in the cozy beer garden 🥤🍻 before heading back towards Gemünden. In Wolfsmünster we then visited the fire brigade festival 🚒 in the castle garden there 🏰 and made a small detour to the Franciscan monastery there ⛪️ in Schönau.
