Today we went to Wimbachgries. Could start running straight from the holiday apartment, it's only 2 km to Wimmbachbrücke. Then we went through the gorge. Beautiful😍🌊. Water came down the wall everywhere and then roared towards the valley.
Then we went higher and higher towards Wimbachgrieshütte. Unfortunately, it started to rain halfway to the top and didn't stop until halfway …

We skipped the gorge today and immediately headed toward the Wimbachgries Hut. The path leads along a narrow forest road along the Gries, sometimes steeply, sometimes less steeply, up to the hut. We passed Wimbach Castle on the …
