Today, it was supposed to stay dry until about 5 p.m. Therefore, we chose a stage of the Himmelsstürmer route, which we had originally planned as a single-track hike. Under heavily overcast skies, we started at Sonthofen train station. Initially, the path was consistently flat, following the Iller River

It had rained heavily last night, and it didn't let up until around 11 a.m. We quickly implemented our plan from yesterday and hiked from Bad Hindelang through the Ostrachtal Valley via Hinterstein. The route took us along a rather varied path, partly along the Ostrach River, all the way to Hinterstein

Since only a small window of dry weather was forecast for today, we only did a short loop again. The tour was originally advertised as "Scheidegger Waterfalls," but these are about 50 km away. The corresponding waterfall highlight also features the Gerartser Waterfall. Otherwise, a nice loop considering

Today's tour took us from the Olsberg Kneipp Garden, initially along a mostly asphalt route (partly on the Ruhr Cycle Path) to the Ohlenkopf. The climb was quite challenging at times, but offered beautiful panoramic views. The descent was almost entirely along a well-maintained forest path. Overall

Today we're sightseeing in Avignon, including a visit to the Pope's Palace. The eastern tour is therefore not particularly suitable for walking.

Our first short hike involved a challenging ascent along a narrow path with lots of loose scree. However, the temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius and above were quite challenging. Overall, a pleasant loop with lovely views.

Today, during our 11th stay, we took a hike we'd never done before. It was dry, but almost entirely cloudy. From Tannheim to just before Lake Vilsalpsee, we took what felt like the 100th time the same route, until we turned right just before the lake toward the "Obere Roßalpe." Up until then, the trail
