June 30, 2025,MTB - Bellwald nach Galmihornhütte und zurück!

Today I'm visiting the Galmihorn Hut again! My favorite destination in the area! The journey there and back is the same! Up until now I've done the round trip from Reckingen via the Bächlital.

Some campsites. After almost 20km Reckingen came. The larch houses super nice. Then continue to cross a few contour lines to Niederwald. Then the …
