Unfortunately, the weather forecast had not changed overnight and after the sun had spoiled us yesterday, we had to expect rain 🌧️ sooner or later today. We said goodbye to the great mountain inn Hochhäderich 👋 and set off quite optimistically. We went down the same path we had struggled up yesterday

We spent this year's birthday 🎈 in Neuerburg in the Südeifel. And true to the motto "Something new every day", after visiting the town, we rented climbing equipment and tackled the via ferrata 🧗, which only opened in spring 2026. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm only conditionally keen on scrambling

Due to the high temperatures 🌡️, we had chosen a tour for today's Sunday with plenty of shade and without significant altitude gain. 👀 We found what we were looking for in the Hohe Mark Nature Park and started the hike at the Wesel-Feldmark train station. 🚉
We walked straight towards the Auesee lake

Finale! 🙌 All that we had climbed yesterday, we could simply walk down today. However, we chose a different path than the day before and thus cheated a bit regarding the route guidance of the Schluchtensteig. Strictly speaking, we missed the section between the Wehra reservoir and the chapel in Wehr

After the merry evening in the WOMO-Stüble, getting up early was quite difficult 😰, but there was no other choice, a long stage lay ahead of us. We had breakfast at Edeka and then left Todtmoos in a southerly direction. To wake us up, it immediately went uphill a bit. We crossed the village of Schwarzenbach

Today it got a bit more intense again. 💪 So we got up early, packed up the tent, and set off straight away. We wanted to have breakfast in St. Blasien. To wake up and warm up, we first went downhill, through the pretty Windberg gorge with a waterfall and everything that goes with it. 🥾

After our oh-so-quiet rest day, there was no particularly long stage planned for our re-entry into the Schluchtensteig. 😎 It was supposed to go as far as just before St. Blasien, because the next trekking camp was waiting for us there. ⛺️
The first 5 kilometers were flat and led largely along wide forest

The weather was once again expected to stay within limits ☁️, so we changed our plans a bit, because for the ridge hike on the Nagelfluhkette, we definitely wanted sun ☀️ and visibility 👀 – and we hoped for both from tomorrow. So, for today, we planned a comparatively short and easy tour. 😅
