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.

February 23, 2022,Blick ins Kinzigtal – Lothardenkmal Runde von Gengenbach

An amazing amount of birdsong and also the sound of woodpeckers in the morning hours.
Magnificent view from the Mooskopfturm.
Also from the Lothar Monument, which is supposed to commemorate the storm of December 26, 1999.
I almost saw the stairwell from the school in Durbach.

what was that for your hike...

the first 8 km only uphill and then at km 7 you are overtaken by a jogger 😎.....

All in all, a wonderful tour with a very high standard, I particularly liked the single trail "Ant Trail" which, thank God, I went down....

Now I'm floored and happy that I made the tour..
