June 8, 2024,Ausblick vom Kahlen Asten – Kahler Asten Runde von Altastenberg

In very nice weather we went from Altasternberg up to the Kahler Asten and then down through a really beautiful landscape back to the car park. The view from the Kahler Asten is gigantic. I would only recommend the tour itself for hikers with good stamina and sturdy shoes.
