May 1, 2025,Mühlsteinhöhle – Nerother Kopf Runde von Neroth

Today we went to Nerother Kopf, including the small cave and old ruins. The initial climb was a bit strenuous, but the wonderful colors and scents in the forest, as well as the rewarding view of the small cave and the ruins, quickly made it all go away.

Since the last update from Kommot, does he no longer remember the exact parking space? And during the hike, the last approx. 2 km are suddenly missing. Route suddenly no longer visible? If there is no internet in the forest, the route can no longer be edited.
