2 Day Solo Backpacking in the Black Forest | Winter Hiking on the Westweg

Come along for a little 2 day solo backpacking trip in the Black Forest in the South of Germany. Otto and I hiked 50km on the Westweg, the oldest long-distance trail in Germany and part of the European Long-Distance Trail E1. We had a bit of snow, the most beautiful views and slept in a hut in the woods. I also got to test my new backpack, the Durston Kakwa 55. 📍 Route: Ruhestein-Haaghütte (17.7mi/28,5km) Haaghütte-Hausach (13.7mi/22km) Love, Elli and Otto 🙌 Do you want to help fuel our next adventure? ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Ellihikes ☕ https://ko-fi.com/ellihikes Your support goes a long way and helps me to keep creating videos!
