April 26, 2023,Waldkirch – Nordgrat – Damenpfad - Kandel 1242 m

Today a tour that I took over from Patrick Göser.
Climb the north ridge over the summit of the Kandel and down the ladies' path back to Waldkirch.
Despite the sun forecast, I was unlucky today and had no view, but I had the summit all to myself.
Thanks Patrick, great tour.👍
