A nice round at the Hoher Knüll is always worth it, even today, but because of the fog you couldn't enjoy the distant views, a shame.
It mostly goes through open terrain on dirt roads and paths. It was pretty lonely today too. Things certainly look different when the weather is nice.
Unfortunately, Komoot made a mistake in the tower, …

This morning it was supposed to be a winter hike ❄️ through the high crumple 🏔️.
In places there were snowfields up to 30 cm deep 🌨️. It's good that the choice fell on the high hiking shoes 🥾.

Just a nice walk with always fantastically beautiful views. Sometimes on forest roads and paths. Time over open land.

A great round at -1 degrees and crunching snow. At the end of the round with the onset of dusk, it had a special charm due to the loneliness. Could have been anywhere in Alaska or Canada.

So either we saw a stray dog from a distance today or a wolf... I couldn't see it from that distance without glasses.

After we liked the fable trail at the Silbersee very much, we went on to explore the Knüll today. From the hiking car park at Knüllköpfchen we had an impressive view far into the surrounding area over long distances.
In the first half of the tour, we didn't like the nature of the path that much, mostly solid paths and …

Today we went to Hohen Knüll on the Fabelweg. The weather was great and so was the route. The distant views are amazing, but the paths are also partly just great and you enjoy the walk through nature! We had fun and Knoppers only started to struggle at the end because it was too sunny and too hot for him. …
