March 9, 2024,Vom Gaistal zur Schweizerkopfhütte auf dem Hahnenfalzweg mit Panoramablick über den Nordschwarzwald

3 years ago we did the same circular hike in ice and snow and the steep, slippery descent back from the Hahnenfalzhütte was quite dangerous. Today in early spring it was much more relaxed.
It's a shame that the sun hid behind a blanket of clouds right before we set off.
