A tour I once saw at Petra, beautiful!
When climbing to the Kiesbuckelhütte, it was a bit difficult to find the right, direct ascent.
For us, stop-off premiere at the Dernbacher Haus, highly recommended!

We started this year's New Year's hike in Albersweiler / St. Johann. We took our first break at the Naturfreundehaus Kiesbuckel, which was also open on January 1st. Not only the cake is very good here, I can also recommend the vegetable soup.
