Into the Wald, and a search for a See

The last few days have been rather a mixed bag. We ended our cross country skiing with a challenge: the Waldeloipe (Forest Track). This was our first proper red course (instead of blue). We learned at the end that we shouldn't really have been on it. As it wasn't prepared, that apparently makes it de facto closed. Having endured it, this didn't come as much of a surprise - it just would have been nice to have been told beforehand.

With the skiis returned, we opted for some mountain walking yesterday, but somehow didn't find much of a long track to occupy a lot of time. That changed today - the track we wanted to walk, around the Weidachersee (Weidach lake) was not particularly long, just getting to it was the problem. The first access trail was closed, then we searched from Weidach, without success, to find the lake. Another possible route was too steep and icey to get up (icey paths were a big problem in general today and yesterday). Having given up, we found the lake by accident, only because a street happened to be named after it. It wasn't so picturesque, having been turned into a fishfarm, but we walked one side of it and it was interesting nonetheless. We were blocked in getting back by the same closed trail that had hampered our progress at the beginning, but were able to make a short detour and make it back safe and sound.
