If the weather is dry, go to Eschelkam to the Drachensee. Although there was still light drizzle, it was a nice tour to walk.

May 21, 2024,Drachenseeumrundung - große Tour 🏞️🐾

Actually, the small tour is the best part. The big tour is for ornithologists, but the route is not so great in some parts. The small tour would have been enough for us. We are probably very spoiled by the hikes in the surrounding mountains.
