December 16, 2022,Wintertraum ❄ Aufstieg von Westfeld auf den Kahlen Asten

Winter dream❄Winter fairy tale☃️Winterberg🤩 I can't miss the cold and snow! And then with the glorious weather 🌞 That was a great tour from Westfeld up to the Hochheide, always following the Lenne. It was exhausting too, but it was so much fun 🤗

Parked directly on the paid parking lot at Kahler Asten. Unfortunately, all parking ticket machines were defective today 🤷 ♀️ The better parking lot for hikers, because all skiers start below. We got one of the last parking spaces around 10.00 a , but after that not a soul and we could enjoy the glorious weather
And end the day …
