It was wonderful, as always! The weather couldn't have been better! Unfortunately, the 2024 event was canceled due to flooding! We walked, most of us on e-bikes!

There are 17 information boards along the well-signposted path that provide a lot of information about beer and the production process.
Be sure to stop at the beer garden at Ratzenhofen Castle halfway through.
The path itself leads over large parts of tarred paths/roads, and then towards the end there is a longer section over field/forest paths.

After that it gets better. But unfortunately …
