We had reached the Zabergäu! In bright sunshine, we admired the Heuchelberger Warte …

I left today for the second time. After the short tour this morning I wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather even more. Started in Leingarten once generously around the Heuchelberg to Eppingen and via Schwaigern back to Leingarten. At the end it was pretty cold, but it was bearable.
