...and the tour continues. In glorious weather, we went to the Brunnenkopf today. Significantly more relaxed than yesterday and also a few meters less in altitude, but still nice. On the way back we stopped in and had a light one. Great tour! Great corner!

Last week, while visiting "Kinni's Love Palace," I saw the alpine hut and decided to hike up.
Luckily, almost the entire route was through the forest, but it was still warm and sweaty.
At the alpine hut, Komoot abandoned me again, and the ascent to the cross wasn't recorded.
Could this be due to the new owner of Komoot??? 🤔🤪 …

In summer you can do the Höhenweg up in the saddle in front of the fountain head houses to the right in the direction of Pürschling - sensational and lonely.
The Brunnenkopfhäuser are a hotspot - summer is like the Stachus. Everything OK in winter. In my opinion much nicer than summer.
Or you don't do the fountain head at …

We had 20-30 cm of fresh snow today - brilliant 😊 and we were completely alone. The bridle path was very easy to walk on. Apart from the steel sleepers for the water drain >> very slippery under the snow 👎🏻

Trousers with shoe hooks were a great advantage ✌🏻

Basic fitness should be available, then a very leisurely climb to the summit or to the hut. You can park the whole day for 2.50 euros in the Linderhof Palace parking lot.
When descending from the hut, quite a few non-Bavarians come towards you, asking if it's still far to the hut =)
