Today I went from Schonach to the Blindensee and back via Wilhelmshöhe. It was wonderful to hike in the snow, there was no view but it was like a winter wonderland🤩

Inspired by Ingrid, we went to Schonach in the snow today and then over the Blindensee to Wilhelmshöhe and back in a loop. Very nice route. We'll come back again when the sun is shining.
