Today we went with the Schlemmerblock to Füssen again to eat at the Goldene Stäbchen.

Afterwards we walked to Bad Faulenbach, along the Gipsbruchweiher, Mittersee and Obersee and then back over the Maxsteg with a view of the Lechfall to the old town.

November 3, 2023,Um Mittersee und Obersee

Morning round from just before 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
At home I had already thought about shortening the planned tour between Mittersee and Obersee. But then it was so beautiful there that I also hiked around the Obersee.
And I was rewarded with wonderful impressions.
