QRV on the Mandlstein (874 m, JN78JR, SOTA / GMA): Although on the border to OK, I can't do a single QSO with a Czech ham. I am compensated by a S2S contact with Hannes, OE3JSU, on the Ötscher and 2 further QSOs at 145,500 MHz with Martin, OE3EMC or again under his AMRS club call OE3XRC. I reach Heinz, OE5HDN, via the Sternstein repeater.
Wultschau: parking lot at the village inn
At the western end of the village, the first signpost to Mandlsteinweg (circular route No. 11)
Over large areas ...
... into the forest
Moorbad Harbach: There are hardly any distractions that could disturb your recovery ...
An old barn…
... with a remarkable roof construction
Short detour to the meat bank (rock formation)
The characteristic blue and white Nordwaldkammweg marking has been running parallel to my red and white Mandlsteinweg marking for a long time.

Mandlstein (874 m)
Look after OK
Unfortunately, there is no QSO with an OK station.
The descent (continuation of the circular route) is also really well signposted.
Another 1½ hours to Wultschau. (The ascent takes only 20 minutes from the Mandlstein car park.)
Not far anymore…
…to the car
