Itinerary description

we did this loop in December when it had just snowed. The first part to the Windeck is great, following small forest trails with great views. the last climb to the Windeck was not broken in, so we had to plough through half a meter of snow which is really tiring.
the second part down from the Windeck was a bit confused, this is probably not the best route back as it required us to cross the ski slopes a couple of times (really intimidating if you're not actually wearing skis).

animal tracks

along the route we saw lots of animal tracks in he snow, it seems the locals use the hiking trails as highways. we recognized deer tracks and perhaps paw prints from cats.
