November 19, 2023,‚Hogge‘-Runde oberhalb Erschwil SO

Wild Jura hike on the language border SO/JU. Today we had everything: rain, wind, sun and fog, but that makes it all the more atmospheric in this special and rather deserted area... The ridge hike on the Hoggen is particularly varied with the great view from the Holzkreuz over Erschwil all the way to Basel (when the weather is nice😉)🍂🍁🥾🌦️💨🌫️
