It was around 30°C today and some of the sections through the forest were quite pleasant, especially in …

This week we are traveling in a region that is new to us. We have extended our stay in the Wetterau and Vogelsberg districts after helping our relatives move 😉.

The premium tour runs from Eschenrod through forest and wide fields, past the Nidda reservoir and the very impressive sequoias.
