Fantastic round on almost exclusively beautiful paths and paths with consistently magnificent views.

Despite a storm warning and a lot of mud, we went on a tour of the Schönberg and took the snow castle with us on the way there. It was windy but also beautiful. There was even snow on the higher peaks. Maybe that's where we'll go next. ;) 🏔️🌨️🏂

Up to the edge of the forest with a great view back over Freiburg. …
