Sunday = hiking day. It's now a firm tradition. So today at 7.30 a.m. we set off for the Ködeltalsperre, which is also called the Franconian Forest Fjord.
From the parking lot we went up the mountain to the dam where today's circular route begins. The "Hubertusweg RT 25". I was actually expecting less snow today, but oh well. Close …
