On the first day in Hinterbichl, everyone lit a candle. It helped, and we had a week of perfect hiking weather.

Our group ate here every evening. The food was delicious 😋 and the staff was very friendly. Even though we were seated longer, they were still friendly. 🥰 On the last evening, we were given another round of apricots, even though we were very loud. A typical Palatinate dish 🙈
