Herzogstand summit cross at 5:28 AM = 1:50 hours with water breaks, but brisk, good conditions, forest road with no shortcuts
About 25 minutes of dawn, sunrise at 5:58 AM, so about 30 minutes earlier is recommended

Today, the signs pointed to a change in the weather, as evidenced by the headache 🤕. All the more reason to make it worthwhile when, 10 minutes after sunset 🌅, the fog 🌫️ enveloped the summit.
