The route was described as difficult, beautiful to the Weissenstein station, then the hustle and bustle and stony path - stupid for Laila

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our planned hike over the Pragel Pass today due to the weather.

So we decided to change the route to Weissenstein.

We started on Balmberg, climbed via Balmfluechöpfli to Röti, and then returned to Balmberg via Weissenstein.

Of course, we didn't stop for a bite to eat at the Sennenhaus mountain restaurant.
