7th and last day:

Overcast, drizzly weather and rain showers on the way.
We have to make do with that on our last day in Sauerland.
We should not expect clearings, we will take care of that ourselves.

Wild animals and not so wild. Just lovely. Fairly good signage. Except for some hustle and bustle on the Kahler Asten, lonely and quiet. Lots of benches and …

The 200th Komoot Tour! 😊
Great area, great weather, great tour! 🥰
However, the last few meters to the car are missing, that's when the battery left my cell phone 😔 and the pictures are a bit messed up too!🤷‍♀️
