Beautiful circular hike in the Odenwald. Start in Reichelsheim. Weather cooperated great. A good only uphill. Varied: fields, vision, forest, streams, small waterfall, 🏰 castle ruins. Nice break with girlfriend. It was not possible to stop off on the way. 🏰🫶🌲🌲🌳🌼🌿🐿🐄🐔🐓

A great varied winter tour. Started hiking in Reichelsheim, wide panoramic view, hiking in the winter sun, past the waterfall, over the Rodenstein ruins. 👌🏻❤😎❄❄🌳🐿👍🏻

Good that we left early today. The weather report announced heat records - and this time it keeps its promise.

Hiked a beautiful round with my brother in the fresh Odenwald air in Reichelsheim. Final stop at the Restaurant Alexander in the Landhotel Lortz.
