DRY! Well, the weather, my shoes and my backpack not quite yet. Another nice tour. According to the elevation profile, it looks like it will be a little uphill, but basically downhill. It felt like a lively up and down until it finally goes steeply down after the Spitzfelsen. No, not quite, there is a little bit of uphill again …

Hello,
Fog is swirling through the forest.
It's still fresh.
Nevertheless, we and another Westweg hiker are in good spirits.
So I'm happy to offer another cup.
Another Europaweg hiker joins us.
Meeting and farewell in one place. That's how it is, a coming and going on a long-distance hiking trail.

June 4, 2025,⛰️ Westweg: Hark ➡️ Hausach 🥾

The thunderstorm is so powerful that I wake up earlier than I would have liked. I would have preferred to be woken by the crowing of the rooster. It stops during breakfast, and even the sun peeks out briefly.
From the Harkhof, we first head up to the Harksattel and then on to the Kreuzsattelhütte. Here it starts to rain …

This truly delightful hike was on today's agenda. Besides a magically enchanted forest with some truly ancient wayside shrines, it offers, above all, panoramas, panoramas, panoramas. The end near Hausach is a bit steep, but otherwise, you can completely relax.

The altitude is incorrect. This time I recorded the route with Garnin because the climb information is always too high, although it was calibrated before the start.
Maybe someone has an idea what could be the reason.
