A popular destination for everyone because it is easy to reach...on foot or by bike. A wonderful place to rest or for a bike ride.

Today's hike took us to the locked Ameisbergwarte and on to the Lutzenkreuz. Around noon, the sun accompanied us and we happily marched in a circular route to the Fuchs Inn with its nice landlady @Wanderfux 🥾🦊.
Thank you Bettina for the good hospitality!
All mountain witches agreed - we would be happy if you would come with us soon. …

A little wistfully, I made my favorite home round today. I now have to separate from Ameisberg and the surrounding area for 3 weeks 😞. Tomorrow very early we're going to rehab in Styria. Although I'm kind of looking forward to it, I'll miss my home a lot...
