February 21, 2023,Franken Alb Opf 🌳 Buchberg - Teufelskeller, Keltenwall, Zangentor, Fuchsweg 🚶‍♂️🌳👀

A nice round on 90% narrow paths. The fox trail is very beautiful. It meanders around the mountain and is never boring.

You don't have to do the Teufelskeller. It's hard to get there and there's nothing special to see.

I put the round together in order to see as much as possible of the important things.

Before the canopy closes in soon, I had to take a light-filled walk on the Buchberg (Neumarkter Zeugenberg) today - Fox and Eagle Trail - beautiful paths, fox dens, sandstone below, a layer of Jurassic limestone at the very top, ramparts, early bloomers and the first tender leaves on the trees - fantastic 🤩

If the tree death continues like this, there will soon be nothing left on the northern slope of Fuchsweg

August 24, 2023,Füchsleins Pfad ist auch bei 30°C angenehm 🚶🏼‍♀️😇🐕🐕🐕

It was only supposed to be a short eagle lap, but THREE had a different opinion and turned purposefully to the 🦊 😀. It was also really cool in the shady beech slope. i love this mountain

May 27, 2022,Fuchsweg, etwas zugewachsen, dafür trocken geblieben obwohl es draussen geschüttet hat🌧️😇

Today after a long time again on the fox's path. I have the feeling that in some places the path is becoming less and less and in other places it is completely overgrown thanks to goutweed, ferns and raspberry bushes.

🤣 I had to climb over the thick beech trees that were still lying there, but Komoot didn't have to exaggerate the climbing action so much 🫣😉

During my round, Gabi and I picked off 20 ticks each, and at home, Mizi picked off 54 ticks. Seven of them crawled on me.
