The date choose was December 21, 2019.
The route starts in Torfhaus and from there will be 8,5 km to the summit (17km in total round trip). We were in a group of 12 students.
According to google maps, it should be around 2,1hours. However like Was our first time there, we don't have to much pressure to make a record, just enjoy it and return with daylight using the same path.
During walking, we saw a lot of dead trees. This according to Mark (our specialist), was due to a small bark beetle and of course, relate to climate change too.
