Another day like out of a fairy-tale! The sunny morning started with some views, before I had a relative relaxed hiking day, going down a lot, being below 500 m now. So I hope tonight's going to be kind of 'warmish'.
Already yesterday, I noticed that there is much more water around than before. That's nice, so I don't have to worry about it and always find a stream to fill up my bottle or wash my socks.
The water might also be the reason, why the forests here still look so good. Compared to other areas in Germany, for example the Harz, where huge areas of spruce died due to bark beetles, here the needle forest is still green.
When you think of the Bavarian Forest, you think of needle trees. But there is more. Today I walked through several beech forests. Some were even natural forest reserves. This means they aren't used by men anymore and can develop into virgin forests. Really nice!
Plus I passed an upland bog, which was drained in between but is renaturated and still had some remaining snow.
