13. 01. 2023 12:52:49
After the first night at Wiesbadener Hütte and a hearty breakfast around 8 a.m., my hiking enthusiasm is still very limited.

After an exhausting work week, a small and short hiking tour was needed quickly. Since we didn't have time to plan a longer and more demanding tour, we chose the Rötelstein near Ohlstadt.
