October 31, 2024,Bussenkapelle – Burgruine Bussen Runde von Unlingen

Unfortunately there was fog on the buses and around the buses. Unfortunately there were no nice pictures in the fog. The hike was okay, I was never alone on the buses, there were always people up there and the Bussenstüble was also closed.
