Relatively chilled way to Hossingen. Nice to walk and through the ladder, which is actually several stairs, is also something special.

Very nice climbs but you will be rewarded with worthwhile viewing balconies. The autumnal variety of the landscape picture compliments it. If you want to add the icing on the cake, you can end this with culinary delights in the Traufgang hut. Greetings Traugott
