October 29, 2023,Rundwanderung zum Peterskopf über Urwaldstieg- Nationalpark Kellerwald Edersee

Second day in the national park.
Part 1: Today we took the funicular up to the Peterskopf and from there steadily downhill. Due to the weather, as we had light rain almost all the time, we were once again almost alone.
The leaf color is simply wonderful and you can't get enough of the colors on the ground.

Unfortunately, some paths were closed due to construction work, and the ground was very slippery due to autumn leaves and the recent heavy rain. We were the only ones out.
