We have now entered the most gorgeous period of Fall. The leaves have turned colors and are swirling through the air of lying on the ground ready to get thrown through the air. This is my favorite stage of Fall.

During this short period Fall´s most beautiful colors show up everywhere like a deep yellow, a burnt orange or a rich burgundy. I mean how gorgeous am I right?!

What to Do – Hiking in Randeck…

…..

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

Fall is the perfect time to get outside and tick of things of your bucket list cause the temperature is still high and the weather is usually pretty nice as well.

If you have a few hours left in your busy morning and you are in the area I would suggest a small hike in Randeck. This is a tiny place but full of really cool things. It is in the Kelheim area in Bavaria and has so much to offer. 

There are two routes you can take. Either you park at the foot of the mountain and hike up and after you have taken a look at the castle and had a stunning lunch you go back down or you can park right behind the restaurant and go down and up again. This is you choice. We did the second route, and hiked down. It is a very steep way and slippery at times but I´d say with trekking boots you are safe to go. At the half there is a place with a stunning view down at the river and a bench to sit for a while and take it all in. 

It takes about 25 minutes down (sitting and enjoying the view not included) 

 

The Trail 

As I have already said you can do the trail two ways – from the parking spot up or from the restaurant down. The trail splits somewhere in the middle and you can hike to Essing or Altessing (a nearby place even smaller than Randeck).

I am not at all a experienced or frequent hiker and it was still very manageable for me. It takes about an hour tops to go up and down so you might want to take this into your planning if you want to go to lunch at the Ritterschänke after.

 

The Ruin

The ruin dates back to the year 1200 so it is really really old. Usually it is open everyday. You can just go in, there is no one there. On the front gate you will find a little post box with the entrance fees. It really only is a small fee of two Euro. You can walk the grounds and enjoy the amazing view high up over the river or you can climb up the many many stairs of the tower. There is a viewing platform on the top with a 360° view. 

The Restaurant

We have eaten there twice now and it has been sooooooo good. Both times it was roastbeef (the menu changes daily and seasonally) and the best meat I have ever eaten. It is a newly renovated restaurant called the Ritterschänke. The theme is definitely knights and everything around the ruin on Randeck. You can have lunch or dinner there and even celebrate parties or weddings. It is a really pretty and modern location with some vintage charm.

The Denim Trenchcoat…

…..

I am quite the coat lover to be honest (maybe because I am German and we never leave the house without a coat on our body or at least in our hands) and have aquired an amazing collection over the years but never ever have I come around about an awesome denim trenchcoat!!! I mean how cool is this piece. I combines the coolness factor of a denim jacket with the very chic and untouchable look of a trenchcoat. What´s not to love here.

The styling possibilities are also endless. I have styled a cute Fall look under the trenchcoat setting focus on the colors beige and burgundy and rouded it up with a blue touch of the trenchcoat.

You can get the trenchcoat I am wearing here. Some sizes are still left.
