The Trudenstein is still below the Hohnekamm and is included in the system of the Harzer hiking nobility with the number 17. Even if not so high; the view is still great and a bit of climbing is also necessary.

Final tour in perfect weather. I suspect we won't get another day like this this year.

.....if, would, when, nothing helps,
if the weather gods aren't on your side, then it's relatively difficult to enjoy a sunset.

But given the wonderful atmosphere during the climb, I never dreamed that it would be so bad that you could hardly see your own hand.
