Nice hiking trails. The children (7.10) thought there weren't enough swings for the name. It mostly went through the forest. Due to fallen trees, in the last few days there have been severe storms, we sometimes had to leave the path a bit or climb over trees.
At the end we went to the Reifnitz lido for refreshment. 😀

A nice little hike, unfortunately with a lot of asphalt and sun at the beginning and end. But the forest trail to the castle and chapel was beautiful and easy to walk even in barefoot shoes.
