December 31, 2025,Letzte Tour 2025: Auf den Rosskopfturm

Even though it was just a short hike, it still involved some elevation gain and a scenic viewpoint. That qualifies as the last summit hike of the year, right? 😅 I hope you all had a great start to the new year! :)

I did this tour about four years ago. The tour is simply beautiful. I highly recommend it! If you want to stop for a bite to eat at the end, you should start from the Hotel Ahrenberg!

You shouldn't always trust Google Maps when it comes to trails. One was shown, but it wasn't there 🤷‍♀️. We missed route 6, …
