The Great German Road Trip, Day 3: August 5, 2020

The weather cleared up and the forecast called for light cloud cover and a bit of cooler weather before the heat wave, so it was the perfect day to head up the mountain to the peaks of Brauneck (1,555 meters) and Latschenkopf (1,488 meters). To get there and conserve some energy, we skipped the first 1,000 meters of ascent and took the lift. It was steep and we had a breathtaking view on the trips up and down the mountain!

The ride made me nervous, but the view!

Once at the top, we started our tour. 

Here's the map of our tour after disembarking from the lift. We were definitely walking for well over one hour and forty minutes. It was slow going due to the ascent and descent on the rocky terrain, but well worth it for the views in between.

It was breathtaking up there!

There were lots of people on the trail after several days of rain and much hotter weather in the forecast for the next days. 

I could even smile on the way down, even though it still made me nervous hanging in that little cabin!
