Better weather was forecast for the Black Forest than here at home, so we took the tour that we had stolen from @🥾 Noreen 📸 (thanks for that 😉). However, we changed direction so that we could initially enjoy the colorful vineyards in the sunshine. Later on, it clouded over here too, but we were out in the forest anyway... …

Yesterday we went to Sasbachwalden in the best hiking weather ☀️. For this we put together a great tour with lots of trail sections.
We started in the Gaishölle before we went over the Felsenpfad and Laufbachpfad to Neu-Windeck Castle with its great view.
This circular hiking trail has everything to offer and leaves nothing to be desired. 🏰 🪨 …

We had seen the tour at @🥾 Noreen 📸 and added it to the "endless list" of planned tours. Today we set off for Sasbachwalden to enjoy the autumn colours. Although the first 4.6 km were on asphalt, strangely enough, that didn't bother us. We just enjoyed the beautiful views in the sunshine. A little way after the Neuwindeck ruins, …

After the annoying night shift, I was fed up and really wanted to rest and recharge my batteries 😊. Since it was already really warm again, I dug out a tour with 2 little streams.😅 I got my inspiration from @Iris & Frank🤝
We started at a large parking lot in Lauf. The path along the gurgling Laufbach was magical. …

Gaishölle-Hohritt-Felsenpfad-Laufbachpfad- and back via Neu Windeck Castle through the orchards and vineyards.

I was lucky with my tour today. 😍 Started early and it was still pleasantly cool, especially in the Gaishölle. Almost the entire tour was in the shade, only the last two kilometers were sunny. This was just the thing for a hot 🔥 day.
