One year to the day, I wrote an article on this ultimately unimportant question.

Yesterday #cycling took me to a different area in the Swabian-Franconian Forest: this is a view over the Trauzenbach valley from Murrhörle to Steinberg near Murrhardt.
In the times of the #RomanEmpire #Limes fortifications, protecting Roman settlements against raids from Germanic tribes, used to be near the houses on the far side of the valley. We're on the side of #civilization here.
