January 2, 2022,🅱️ Zwingenberg: Runde am Melibokus

Today just started walking towards Melibokus, there is nothing you can do wrong! The view from Melibokus was still pretty gray, on the descent the sun came out and gave me wonderful views from the Luciberghäuschen. Then, unfortunately, I had to hurry, otherwise I would be back after the morning rest.
Conclusion: Melibokus always works!
