Rainbow Mountain with toddler
Activities: We went on an "Alternative Rainbow-Mountain Tour" and hiked for about two and a half hours. The tour included breakfast, lunch, and snacks. We took a Tragehilfe (baby carrier) for our little one. We also brought a wind jacket, a thin hat, a sweater, and a scarf. It was essential to have a practical drinking bottle
Highlights: It was a total luxury to be only 10 people in that mountain section. We could take great photos and enjoy the moments in nature almost alone. The tour's duration made it easier for families with small children. "We could make great photos (where you can see yourself alone) and enjoy the moments in nature almost alone." ✨
