At the end of the day, up the holy mountain. One of the most beautiful moments.
Unfortunately, Monday and Tuesday are closed 🙈... and drinks too... but the backpack is always with you. 😉.
At times, you have the mountain all to yourself.
So beautiful at this time of year!

Sunny views on the Staffelberg, there is almost nothing more to say. From about 11 a.m. it gets full up there 😃 The recording doesn't fit, forgot your cell phone at home and the Garmin of one of the runners registered different times, with breaks? With the Komoot transmission or with the link to me.

Beautiful hike from Vierzehnheiligen to Staffelberg. Great view from the high plateau, refreshment stop in the Staffelberg Klause and a small Adelgundis chapel worth seeing. A visit to the Fourteen Saints Bastion is of course recommended.

Before the predicted snow comes, we once again enjoyed the gaps in the clouds and the sun on a great hike to the Staffelberg. From the hiking car park near Oberlangheim on the high plateau past the Alte Staffelberg and Spitzberg on the easily walkable hiking trail to the Staffelberg.
