Day 19: Ridge walk

The night wasn't as cold as I had expected in the open beech forest. 

The first bit of forest of the day was amazing. Lots of standing and dead giants in a mixed forest. Very jungle like!

Then I skipped a bit of the Goldsteig, which passes through Bayrisch Eisenstein. There is no grocery store, everything is closed and I can't even walk over the boarder into the Czech Republic to get some nice cheap meal. 

So I walked up to the Arber lake and Arber mountain. It was very windy on top and I thought: what a great timing for the following ridgewalk. But it wasn't that bad, because it's not an open, exposed and small ridge. It was more a broad ridge, mainly in the forest and past the first 3 peaks, there was hardly any snow anymore.

I walked over 12 peaks today, which were over 1000 m. So really a lot of crosses... The views were not perfect, but I can't complain. Most of the day was windy, but sunny. Just in the afternoon it started to drizzle slightly.

A very nice hike on small paths, mainly through needle forests and with lots of rocks everywhere. And some small things on the way like a wooden chapel, a stone monument or a cave.
