Today we hiked this adventure loop of the WesterwaldSteig. A beautiful hike with small via ferrata deposits.

Today we are again in the Westerwald for a wintry round on the edge of Kroppacher Schweiz. With the best weather, icy temperatures and lying snow, simply wonderful. We were surprised at the end of our tour of the farm Christmas market at Hofcaffee Heinzelmännchen, which gave us a nice end.

A beautiful demanding tour with wonderful views. Before we started, we had to find a participant.

A wonderfully varied and somewhat adventurous hike 🥾
Extremely muddy and slippery due to yesterday's heavy rainfall and therefore very strenuous, especially the alpine climbs at the "end of the world" 😅 were tough.
