September 16, 2022,Wanderung nach Altschlossfelsen von Roppeville

Today I planned a short form of the Altschlossfelsen hike, from France (thanks Kauai for the tip!) to enable my wife to go along. We also had a guest from the Swabian Alb with us, he was thrilled.
You can take endless pictures here, since I've been here before, I've limited the number a bit.
