Good weather again today – so off we went to the Grosser Osser despite the "dreaded" additional elevation gain.
The start of the tour wasn't going well. First, I couldn't find a parking space, then continued on a whim – there was a parking sign, but there was no indication of how far it was. Conclusion: I drove 3 km …

July 28, 2022,Osserschutzhaus – Großer Osser Runde von Neurittsteig

A great tour at the end of July through tons of blueberries. A strenuous ascent along the Bohemian-Bavarian border. Some very narrow paths through the blueberry fields. On the Osser summit then a gastronomy that offers everything that the accomplished hiker needs. The descent then also drags, the wooden path motivates the children. Shortly before the finish, it goes up …
