After a restful night and a hearty breakfast I wanted to start. Just before leaving the hostel a strong shower started. I waited until it had finished. While ascending Badener Höhe I soon got into the clouds. There was no vision at the top. I then descended to Forbach. This part of the trail was in a rather bad state. Later the sun started shining. In Forbach I had lunch. At the other side of town it was uphill again. Now the trail was in good shape and I could make up for the time lost in the morning. Here I met a few follow hikers walking in the other direction. Later I was back in the clouds. Towards evening the rain started again. I had to set up my tarp in the rain. It wasn't the best place for the night. Later it stopped raining.
