We started in Hirschaid in perfect summer weather ☀️. We headed to Bamberg 🏰 along beautiful paths, including a bit of sightseeing and a good mood 😄. Then we returned to Hirschaid – straight to the ice cream parlor 🍨. After the tour in the heat, the ice cream was simply heavenly 😋. A perfect day with great company.
