October 1, 2024,🥾 Weißenstädter See - Waldstein

Today we drove to Weißenstadt. It rained heavily the whole way there, so we thought...
"Well, this could be something"
But as we all know, there is no such thing as bad weather, so close your eyes and get on with it... 🙈
We set off from the car park at Weißenstädter See (daily fee 3 euros)...
We were really …

Set off in the rain, arrived in the rain, set off in the rain... Then the sun came out, with brief interruptions of rain, but all in all, a fairly dry tour 😁 Dogs are allowed in the Waldstein restaurant, so Luis was allowed in too and we didn't have to sit outside 🤗 We continued up to the castle …

Today I once again climbed the Great Waldstein peak 🏔️ in the Fichtel Mountains on lonely paths through the winter forest ❄️. Unfortunately, the sun didn't come out and there was an icy wind 💨 that I hadn't experienced for a long time. This cold 🥶 didn't lure many people out today, so I had the forest 🌳 and the …

We started walking today in bright sunshine but with an icy wind. Then the sun 🌞 disappeared and the sky grew cloudy. 🤨 Snowfall awaited us on the Waldstein 😔. Nevertheless, it was a nice tour! 🤗
