The path to the north is quite steep and very, very slippery as there are many "muddy" spots. To be on the safe side, choose the …

August 25, 2021,20,47 Km, 1040 Höhenmeter meine Barbara ist eine Heldin - Zireiner See - Runde von Aschau

Unfortunately, I deactivated Komoot shortly after the start so that the first 5 kilometers of the ascent were not recorded.

It is a strenuous tour, Komoot did not record it properly 🤔, it was 18 km with a 1000 m difference in altitude. 🙈
Nevertheless, the tour is recommended, as it is very close to nature …
