October 8, 2023,Blick vom Heidekopf – Aussicht vom Heidkopfturm Runde von Hallenberg

Unfortunately it was a pretty foggy day, but that was also something. The gradient is initially quite steep, later more moderate. Didn't meet anyone, it was an experience despite the lack of views and the fog.

In bitter cold and fog in the valley, we went from Hallenberg to the Heidekopf today to enjoy the wonderful view of the Sauerland bathed in fog from the Heidekopf tower in bright sunshine and an azure blue sky.
