Itinerary description

The first winter snow has fallen in the very east of the country, and I embark on a snow hike in the frigid early morning hours with a temperature of -7°C. Weather-wise, expectations are not overly high, as fog is forecast for the entire day. The plan is to first hike along the border with Germany and then make my way along and through a large area of bogland.

Very much to my surprise, the fog lifts and conditions become gorgeously sunny. Although there is only up to 10 cm of snow, a true winter wonderland is unveiled.

At the end of a fabulous day and 27 km of hiking, I return to the car around sunset.
