Comments
Nothing going on in EF, nothing going on in Ilmenau Stadt either ..
But then in the direction of Kickelhahn and above (approx. 860m), everything was there:
Snow, freezing rain, wind, an unfriendly landlady, but also roast meat, 2x yeast, 1x herbs and downhill it was much easier.
Gladly again, as an old Ilmenau student.
