Ascent to Petersberg Monastery

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

☆ Once at the top, it's pretty tight on the asphalt. Just don't stop and continue to the appropriate rest area.

I got some coffee for Christmas. This time a little more, because the roastery is then on vacation.

Things went well up to Petersberg. It was just cold and in places quite slippery. Then rain and sometimes strong wind set in. I still took a few pictures and stretched my legs every now and then to make them warmer again.
