With summery temperatures, we headed up the mountain of mountains today to watch the sunset 😃. The sun did set, but not as hoped 😬 a large wall of clouds obscured the bright sky just before it set 🌞😎😃.

Spontaneously to Schierke, and at sunset on the Brocken. Due to time constraints, unfortunately only driven the Brockenstraße. It was still beautiful in the weather. Don't forget good lighting for the descent.

It started with one cancellation after another, then I was stuck in a full road closure for over an hour on the way there, my seat post froze and I missed the only other participant @Knolau7.

December 24, 2023,Ho, ho, ho…ch zum Brocken!

Finally, I've always wanted to do that. On Christmas Eve on the Brocken.
There wasn't much going on, but I did meet 2-3 like-minded people.
Let's now enjoy the coming holidays, preferably with the people we like.
Happy Holiday!
