Trailrunning from Kandern->Basel

A came up with the idea of going trail running in the Black Forest. The public transportation to Kandern is actually pretty easy (we still screwed it up by getting off the train one stop too early; fortunately we could fix this by taking two busses instead of one).

Instead of sticking to the Kandern->Basel leg of Westweg, we added a bit more vertical by starting out over the Munzerberg and Gugelhut before rejoining the Westweg and heading the rest of the way back to Basel.

It's all extremely green (though not terribly muddy) and pretty though the clouds are a bit low to really get good view. The trails are generally pretty good, mostly flowy, and pretty easy to follow (though we get off trail at one point and have to do a bit of improv to get back on track).

Nice lunch break in a Hochsitz (never done that before!) to get out of the breeze and warm up a bit (it was generally quite cool).

A tops at Riehen and G continues the rest of the way back home.


Stats:

G: 35.3km, 715m up, 4:40 total time, 4:05 moving.
