June 14, 2022,Wanderung nach Großer Schwarzsee

Despite low clouds, we hiked from the Timmelsbrücke to the large Schwarzsee. Despite the clouds, it was a very worthwhile tour. Super varied and a new landscape behind every crest. The fog even cleared at the top. On the way back we stopped at the Timmels Alm. 👍

This was a warming treat for us two-legged friends after the rather cold days and even colder nights in the high mountains. The tour over the Windachscharte was technically quite demanding for two- and four-legged friends, but …

The third day of the hike leads from the Hochfirst Inn to the Siegerland Hut. The stage initially runs above the pass road to the Timmels Bridge and then continues through the picturesque Timmels Valley, which captivates with its tranquil and secluded beauty. After about 3 km, a cappuccino stop at the Timmels Alm is worthwhile. You have to take …
