Day 20: Crazy weather

It rained at night and in the morning, but not very strong. So I put on my rain gear and headed out.

Under a big spruce, I was a little protected from the rain and wanted to 'quickly' book my train ticket to head home on the weekend. At the end, it took me nearly an hour and I was not only freezing cold but pretty annoyed.

Luckily, the trail was going up, so I was at least getting warmer. But the dense fog and constant drizzle didn't help to lighten my mood...

But then I discovered a fire salamander and the days was gereat again :) I ended up seeing 3 that day!

The weather got a bit better and there were even moments of sheer sunshine. But also some rain and hail in between. 

In Furth, I bought groceries and of course my eyse were a bit too big. Now I will have to eat a lot the next days ;)

After Furth, I walked up several little hills in a big loop. I liked the name "Gibacht" (take care) and the "light house", a stone monument built with lots of different stones. I even made a step into the Czech Republic. That was also the time, when huge snow flakes came down and it got freezing cold. 

Another little ridge walk to the Klammerfelsen with its lovely view tower, before I decided to set up my tent past Herzogau, because the sky looked terrible.

And yes, it's raining again!
