Yesterday I went on the Palatinate Hut Tour (due to a late start, I skipped the Ringelsberg Hut). From Gleisweiler, the trail first leads to St. Anna's Chapel with its view of the Rhine Plain.

On Saturday, I hiked the Esthal Fountain Trail. As the name suggests, the trail leads past quite a few fountains, many of which were used as washing fountains or watering troughs for livestock.

On Saturday, I headed out into the fog again. I had originally planned to stop at the Hellerhütte, but they had announced a winter break until Christmas. I wasn't entirely sure about the Totenkopfhütte, as they were supposed to close from mid-December. So, just to be safe, I also included the Hohe-Loog

The weather wasn't exactly inviting yesterday, but I still went out. The hike was originally planned to be a bit longer, but it was easy to shorten. To the south, you could follow the Dimbach Sandstone Trail, but instead, I went straight through Dimbach back to the starting point. The wet and cold weather
