There is a very good pea soup with homemade bread on the Königsbachalm. Especially in autumn - when you come up from the summit - it is a very recommendable hut to warm up.
The hut closes around mid-October.

Today I did the most important holiday tour with @🏔️〽️tb〽️arco🏔️🤩

I learned that our beautiful Odenwald is actually flat land🤣🤣.
Everything is a bit steeper here🚵‍♂️🥵. But I still had 22% battery left🪫. There was nothing going on at the Feuerpalfen lookout point and I could take photos to my heart's content📸. After a mini portion of ham noodles …

On the descents, the gravel can easily cause the rear wheel to lock. You have to ride very carefully around the bends.
Once you get to the top, the view makes up for every effort.
The short walk to Feuerpalfen is a must: the …

Today I climbed the Gotzn again on a pretty good trail and with few people because I set off early.
On the way back, unfortunately, my derailleur hanger broke on the first uphill climb and immediately jiggled so badly that I couldn't pedal. Then I took off the chain and pushed my bike up the two uphill climbs. From Hinterbrand …

Rocked the Gotzen again. It was a very nice tour with my Lissy (did a really great tour/ soon you'll have me, Mausi) and guest star Hansi on an e-bike.
The heat really got to us but in the end we always made it to the top.
Best wishes as always to everyone who likes being outdoors
