April 21, 2022,(CH) Jakobsbad hoch zum Kronberg - 21.04.2022

Yes, on our hike, Maisacher Turmsteig, the idea came from Patrick's planned tour to Kronberg in Switzerland. His tour from October 2020 komoot.de/tour/274414829?ref=wtd

and Martina's tour from February 2020 komoot.de/tour/113375811?ref=wtd

became a template for me. I only knew the Kronberg from afar. Yes, and there are enough meters of altitude on this route.
