As a Friday afternoon activity I planned DM/BW-055 and as a second hill DM/BW-801. Weather forecast for the night from Thursday to Friday predicted snowfall down to 600m and that’s at the end of May. In the morning when I looked at the webcam of Feldberg, DM/BW-001, there were only a few millimeter snow and I reckoned below 1000m there will be none. Weather in the afternoon wasn’t too bad and on Hohe Möre, DM/BW-055 it was mostly sunny with clouds and no snow at all.
