I underestimated this hike. But she was very beautiful. Fantastic view from Monte Scherbelino. Impressive what was piled up and the history of it. The altitude meters at 30 degrees were quite exhausting.

Finally visiting "Monte Scherbelino" has been on the agenda for a long time! With sunshine 🌞 and a little wind 💨 it was a surprisingly wooded hike. The many individual stones on the Birkenkopf tell their own story and gave us goosebumps 😪.
