November 11, 2022,Wurzelweg – Buchenbergalm Runde vom Bannwaldsee

Very nice hike on the Buchenberg, be sure to walk in a clockwise direction because the root path is quite slippery on the descent. Wonderful view from the mountain station. From here you can watch the gliders take off and cheer when they jump over the edge 😬
I wish you lots of fun and a nice Sunday 🤙🤙
