I came to the Bilstein for the first time thanks to the summit attack. Nice view of the Chattengau!

The early bird catches the worm. Climbed out of the car with the rising sun and walked to the Bilstein bathing in her red. At the same time we could still enjoy the view of the big moon. 🌄🤩
It wasn't a long round, but the area has a lot of potential for extension, whether to the center of Germany …
