January 28, 2024,Wanderung von Schmücke um den Schneekopf

Today we hiked from the Schmücke to the Schneekopf in beautiful weather.
The snow is limited and the paths are dangerously slippery.
But we stayed in one piece.
On the Schneekopf we had a very good view with strong winds.

Probably still too early and too warm 🤷‍♂️🤔
On the Schneekopf only the crickets chirped. In Gehlberg am Ritter a few could be heard, unfortunately further away.
