Yes, I know, the Schäfler is to me what the Fähnerenspitz is to Martina.😉

October 19, 2023,Schäfler - Ebenalp 🥰☘️🌿🌼☁️
Today the innkeeper at Schäfler asked me how many times I had been to Schäfler this year. 😂 I met him on foot on the descent towards Ebenalp.

Well, @Martina can be happy that there is no inn on “her” Fähnerenspitz and that this cannot happen to her.😉.
