Fast circular route to the Buchenberg. Nice hike, mostly through a forest, with a beautiful view of the surrounding lakes from above.

Nice tour, but it's steep up and down. But the food at the top is great and includes a very nice view.

Wonderful round in dream weather and snow over the Buchenberg.
The weather was awesome 🔨.
Snow was more than expected.
What a shame, the Buchenberg Alm was closed 😏.

Caution: Alpine experience, sure-footedness and a head for heights are required for the tour!!

On the one hand you can look deep …

This time, the return journey took …
