Since in this area and especially on the tour komoot.de/tour/1045576023 - assuming clear visibility - you can actually always see the White Mountains, you don't need to mark a special point for them.

Do you know the mountains, the mountains of Tir... er, Crete? Snow on Crete, who would have thought it. Today, a very nice tour. It was very hot. Thank God the path was in the shade for a while.
