Hike #10a: Králický Sněžník (Czechia)

in OCD4 years ago

In May 2020, we did a hike around the mountains Králický Sněžník (Czechia). The highest peak of these mountains is also called Králický Sněžník (1424m a.s.l.). Here is first batch of photos of the hike. Yes, had to divide it as there are many photos which I want to share with you. Enjoy!

And more trunks as they are addictively photogenic! Praděd, the highest mountain of the Jeseníky, in the middle.
