Lothar Memorial and Viewpoint

A monument to the hurricane Lothar, which reshaped some Black Forest peaks at Christmas 1999. Since there are no more trees around, the place offers a fantastic view of the Kinzigtal valley.

15km uphill, 15km back on the run. I made a special trip in the morning, but it felt like it was already 30°C+ again.
I skipped the Mooskopfturm itself; it's only accessible via large rocks and steps.
