February 10, 2024,Eggegebirgstour - Eine Nacht-und-Nebel-Aktion

The goal of this tour was to experience the dawn and sunrise on the ridge path of the Egge Mountains. That didn't quite work, as a massive wall of fog enveloped the entire area. A virtue emerged from necessity and unique, bizarre-looking photos were produced. So the early morning start paid off in the end.

A round tour from the Rehberghütte up to the Eggeturm.
The way back leads entirely along the beautiful ridge path back to the starting point.

Really a nice scenic round.
