The weather with fog, wind and snow today went very well with the sad history of the former Albdorf.

GRUORN was once a village with over 600 inhabitants.

So that the military training area could be expanded, the village was completely cleared in 1939 and the residents had to leave their homes.

Will the weather hold or not? That was the question. Yes, it was perfect except for the last hundred meters to the car. 😂
Gruorn is always interesting somehow, especially when it's conveniently located on the way.😉😁
Have a nice weekend and make something of it!😀🫡
