Beautiful tour over the Zellerberg with a view of snow-covered Ruhpolding

An ideal hike in the rain. Wide, solid paths, no mud and no tall grass.
When the rain is falling vertically, I prefer to take an umbrella instead of an anorak, then you don't sweat as quickly. Nevertheless, after 2 hours you're somehow wet all over.

Hard forest roads almost all the way through, wooded route for summer days

As a "conciliatory" conclusion to the rainy bike tour along the Mur, enjoy a few late summer days in Ruhpolding.
Great hiking weather 🌞and a sugar-coated mountain backdrop⛰️ - that's what makes vacation fun!😉👍

Today we went from Ruhpolding on the anniversary trail over the Brandler Alm and the Wittelsbacher Höhe. With a section of 2 km, about 260 meters in altitude - with gradients of up to 20% - had to be mastered.
