Devil's Bridge on the Gleitsch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Nice hiking destination high above the valley. Nice photo opportunity and also a wide view from the cliff in the valley. But see yourself, there is a risk of collapse.

Violets bloom in spring between the Bohlenwand and the …

Good day,
on Monday I found out that my Tuesday could be quite short. From a work perspective.
A lot was pushed onto my actually short Wednesday.

Very well.
Then I'll just take Tuesday to spend my 15 Komoot minutes outside.
