Nice trail, to our surprise we were alone there today. Small detour for refreshment at the village festival in Weißenbach-Osserich.

Beautiful Steigla, especially the sections in Schorgasttal and the section with a view of Schneeberg and Ochsenkopf. And there was also a nice view of the Plassenburg 🥰 Well signposted, but we still talked about a turnoff, so the route via Weißenbach was slightly different 😏.
