Spontaneous round in the afternoon to the Gigglstein with @derKlein

Difficulty:
T4 and absolute surefootedness.

We actually wanted to go to the Burgberger Hörnle, but since the road in Burgberg was closed, we switched to the Gigglstein.

From the large forest parking lot we went up to the Grüntenhütte.
