Hello Micha, thank you very much for the very detailed description of this tour, I saved the route Schirmeck-Donon-Urmatt 2 weeks ago, but it is too long for one day at 32 km,

Very nice winter shots.

Sunrise up there is definitely a dream!😍

Hello Micha, brilliant winter pictures!!! I "stole" the tour from you and saved it right away. Will then be tackled in the spring. Was described by you impressively. thanks

Hello @Ulrike ,

If so, I wish you a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to your report!

Wow, that looks just fantastic!

Hello @Iris & Frank ,

You know that - on two or three days in every winter everything just fits... That was such a day 😍
