Pioneer Tunnel (Pioniertunnel)

September 28, 2021,Köthener Hütte – Pioniertunnel Runde von Alexisbad

I should have taken a closer look at the elevation profile beforehand. The ascent to the Köthener hut was very extreme and demanded everything from my poor condition. As the first tour after recovery, it was maybe a little bit over it 😞
