Although Grassberg isn't a large mountain, the hike was somewhat arduous due to the icy paths. Nevertheless, we made it without incident. Now for a bit of history:
The name Pottenbrunn, originally recorded as "Potilinesprunnin," sheds light on the early settlement history of the area. The name suggests

A cold, icy day. First thick fog, which later thinned. The sun even peeked through a few times on the descent to Schottwien. We put on our snowbites just outside Schlagl. There wasn't much snow, but what there was was frozen solid. The long descent was unpleasant due to the risk of slipping, and the

A fantastic end to a successful year of hiking. Just enough snow to make it beautiful yet not strenuous. Excellent hospitality at the Hengsthütte. I accidentally knocked a pretzel over on the descent, but no harm done, only a walking stick broke. If that doesn't bring good luck ;-)
It was a good year

I took advantage of the beautiful day to get some fresh air after the overindulgence of the last few days and also searched for and found a few geocaches. The route was somewhat arbitrary, but this way the starting and ending points are easily accessible by public transport.

The towns on Mallorca's south coast are hardly worth mentioning; faceless hotel complexes dominate the landscape. But as soon as you leave these towns, you'll find some of the most beautiful hiking opportunities. Such was the case today, with a leisurely hike from Peguera via Cap d'Andritxol to Camp
