Explored the upper part of the lower argen. The start was at the Farny Brewery Inn. The end of the hike adventurous.

Today, in the best Indian summer weather, I did a round trip from Ratzenried to the valley of the Lower Argen near Neumühle.

Unfortunately, the path to the descent into the Geißertobel was difficult to see, so I accidentally walked straight on until I found myself in front of a steep ravine 😎.
