Another nice Friday afternoon and I headed for DM/BW-291 and DM/BW-640. DM/BW-640 is a very nice hill with 360 degree view on top. The climb is via zig zag path and withing the forrest. A hill I can strongly recommend. On the other hand DM/BW-291 is rather boring. Many bushes on the top and no views at all.
