On the 3rd day of our hike, we went to Point 660, the access to the ice sheet. Our path led us all day over the gravel road, which is also used by four-wheel-drive vehicles.

The backpack straps were also readjusted. Started this morning at Kloster Wittichen at a pleasant 12 degrees, but it soon got warm due to

Short hike this morning before it gets so warm again. The wild Rench was our destination today, but we had to take a detour again because our forest path was blocked. There should be a solution for Komoot to display this. The path along the wild Rench is very idyllic and absolutely quiet. To finish
