Today I'm off to Menzenschwand again for the Goat Trail. I'd hoped for a bit more shade along the way - I must have remembered wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️, but every now and then there was a cooling breeze.

My animal "haul" today:

A hefty rip-off with €5 for 3 hours of parking, the goat walk is rather boring, but the waterfall and short hike through the gorge are worth seeing.

Day 3 with FriendsNdates in the Southern Black Forest. Today we hiked our first tour in Menzenschwand along the Geißenpfad. Very nice climb on a path through meadows. Then an idyllic little piece of forest. And the rest of the way was a wide path that was so icy that we still had the pleasure of putting on our spikes …

Went on the Geißenpfad near Menzenschwand with friends. We didn't hike the whole loop because we wanted to go to Sankt Blasien at the end.
We had great weather with snow, lots of sun 🌞 and lots of water 😁😃 on the tour 😃.
Another perfect day.
