May 27, 2022,Fichtelgebirge zweiter Tag Ochsenkopf + Schneeberg ⛰

Today over the 2 highest peaks of the Fichtelgebirge past the Weissmainquell, the Weissmainfelsen and a lot of rock formations 😉
Unfortunately, due to heavy rain, we didn't finish the lap. It's a bit too dangerous on the stone/root trails 🤨

The third day was almost perfect🙃 tailored to my bike tour preferences and left nothing to be desired:

👍Trails:
close to nature in forest and meadow, or rough and partly blocked, still easy to drive or sometimes with sliding or even carrying passages peppered.
