Cool Good Friday morning... the birds are chirping, the Pegnitz is babbling... not a soul in sight... I love it 🧘‍♀️😌.

Wild nature awakens in bright colors, the trees bear lichen...

Not a big group, still photos upon photos 🙈... everyone has their own quirk... that's me 🤷‍♀️😊.

Today we headed past Ranna to Fischstein, one of the most popular routes in the area...
The route passes four former villages: Rauhenstein, Ober- and Unterbrand, and of course, Fischstein.

The route is mostly known by the name "Fischstein."
A great little route; we even saw a kingfisher flying 😍

April 24, 2024,Pegnitztal – Kapelle Fischstein Runde von Ranna

Due to a machine breakdown at work, I finished work at noon today and drove to Ranna. Of course not without taking a ride with Mickey. The subsequent stop at the "Grenzzoigl" inn with bratwurst and freshly tapped Zoigl beer was again excellent 🍻👍😋
