On day 3 we've been cautious again and did not took the route via Gehrengrat towards the next hut. Instead we got past the Spullersee, descended back into the Lech valley and hiked along the Lech (this segment was part of another long-distance hiking trail - the Lechweg) until we reached the Formarinsee.
Upon arriving at the lake, we settled for the white-blue-white marked route on the eastern side towards the Freiburger Hütte. I got lucky here as about halfway along the lake a maybe fist-sized stone came crashing down from above a few metres behind me.

Duration: 6 hours and 25 minutes (including uncounted breaks for food, photos or simply to enjoy nature)
Length: 14.5 km
Elevation: 1580 m to 1948 m
Ascent/Descent: 400 m ↑ and 425 m ↓

Let's continue where we stopped last week: still at the Stuttgarter Hütte, still day 2 of the Lechquellenrunde.
We listened to the inn keeper and split our tour in half as snow prevented us from taking the "normal" way through the Madlochjoch: First down to Zürs on the same route as yesterday and then we took the bus to Zug via Lech.
From there on it was all up again until we reached the Ravensburger Hütte at the Spullersee. The sun was strong during the second part and I sweated a lot.

Duration: 3 hours and 45 minutes in total (excluding transfer times, but including breaks while hiking)
Length: 11 km
Elevation: 1485 m to 2310 m
Ascent/Descent: 570 m ↑ and 725 m ↓

In celebration of the current weather, here's a #footpath at the foot of the #Brocken mountain from Monday for #FootpathFriday.

I haven’t seen this much snow in years, nor albino trees so completely blanketed in white they look almost surreal! 🤩 The sun was out too, so it wasn't too cold.
