WWW...forest, meadows and water🌳🌳🌳 exactly what I need.🚶‍♂️
Most of the paths are easy to walk on... On the Wyhra hiking trail you have to climb over one or the other fallen 🌳 climbing and other paths are a bit muddy at this time of year, but that makes for a nice hike. We liked it very much.

July 14, 2024,Kohren-Sahlis nach Gnandstein

The Whyra hiking trail is absolutely idyllic. However, due to fallen trees, you should be able to climb. My lap of honour through Kohren-Sahlis at the end was due to the search for coffee and cake. I found what I was looking for in the Balance House, highly recommended. However, it is currently only open on Sundays between 2 and …
