I modified the original tour a little and climbed further up to the Heimgarten following the yellow DAV signposts. Great view!

A wonderful tour that goes steadily upwards. The home garden has it all. In the upper third of the tour you can start to admire the surroundings. And today the weather was just great. Powder snow at the top and you could make your first tracks in the snow. 15-20 cm is safe, and even more where it is shipped.

I thought about whether my condition will survive the tour. Are 1000hm
More than 3 hours of ascent, at the end the panorama and a auf the Heimgarten hut are rewarding. 👍
