Day 11: Goldsteig

This morning I came to the Goldsteig, Germany's longest high quality hiking trail. I will follow it from now on for most of the time hiking through Germany.

Today was a day how I like it: the sun was shining, no people, some views and the trail was an actual hiking trail, not a forest road or a bicycle path. In addition there were tons of good spots to take a break :) And I needed those breaks. Because suddenly there are mountains with ups and downs. I know they are just hills, but it feels like mountains, walking up ;) 

I hiked up a rocky path to the 'Käsplatte' (cheese platter) - yes, it's really called like that and no, despite my hopes, there was no cheese up there! 

My last 'mountain' for today was the Pröller (1048 m). There were little bits of snow left in the forest and I had a view on the Arber mountains, which I will pass on my way North. 

In addition to having a good day, I found gloves! A bit bulky and who knows how old, but so much better than none. As I always say: the trail takes away and the trail provides ;)
