March 25, 2023,Wanderung ab Harlachberg in den Steinwald

I started the tour at the Gasthof zum Steinwald, where I also had lunch. But you can also drive about 500m further, there is a parking lot for hikers.

At least breakfast and the journey, up to Obersdorf, were full of sun. So it still exists. 🤞🏼

At the Glasschleife Steinwaldia we stumbled straight into preparations for the Rauhnacht, which is supposed to be legendary, as we were assured with pictures on site.
