Beautiful hike over the Tegelberg to the Branderschrofen with a descent via the tourist castle. :)

Since the Pöllat Gorge apparently never opens again 🙈 ... we walked past Neuschwanstein Castle 🏰 and of course took a lot of photos 😂
It's nice... 🥰
We stood in the traffic jam in front of the Marienbrücke (from how many people it probably collapses... 😆) and then we were happy that hardly anyone went even a step further …

Then back via the Rohrkopfhütte with a stop 🍻🍰☕️ back to the parking lot.

Today my daughter took the time for a wonderful mountain hike together😊. We started from the Tegelbergbahn car park (daily fee €5). Blue skies and lots of sunshine accompanied us.
