Merkurstraße Ascent to Merkur Mountain

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

there are several ways up to Mercury. This is also called "Merkurstrasse". For me the most relaxed way to the top.

Fee-Schlapper Hut on the Binsenwasen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Interesting construction, the "Fee-Schlapper-Hut" on the rushes. Nicely located on the pass between Merkur and small Staufenberg and something different than the "usual" shelters.
