November 16, 2024,Wanderung zum Carolinturm auf dem Kötsch

A nice little hike. The beginning of the path is very rocky, and the icy wind made things worse. But overall it was a good tour. The path splits at the Casparibank and, as is often the case, there were no signs. But both paths lead to the destination. It's always beautiful on the Kötsch. 🙂
