I already tried hiking Jochberg once, back in winter but gave up as it was way too slippery so we made a comeback now! It’s a popular destination but the hike itself - or rather 1st half of it -is unspectacular: going up up through a grayish shadowy forest. But, it does get better, as... Continue Reading →
Kratzer above Tegernsee, 22.4.2018
I wanted an easy walk through blooming meadows - we went straight into summer after long winter so everything is bursting with colors. And I got a meadow alright - that’s a wish fulfilled but that was it 😉 It was a tour full of surprises and we loved it!!! Original plan was to hike... Continue Reading →
St. Barbara Chapel above Garda Lake, 14.4.2018
A must do when staying in Riva del Garda! The view is super rewarding 😍 Somehow I was expecting an easy walk and it surely isn’t - well, up to Bastion it’s fairly easy although from the very beginning the road goes undoubtedly up, very much up. From Bastion forward it’s no longer a road... Continue Reading →
Partnachklamm winter magic, 4.3.2018
I have seen multiple winter pictures of Partnachklamm and it always looked fantastic so since weeks I was after finally seeing it with my own eyes and last Sunday it was so far: we drove to GaPa, with a stroke of luck found a spot at overfilled Olympia-Skistadion parking and even managed to buy a...

From Pflegersee to St. Martinshütte, 18.2.2018
It was a beautiful winter wonderland in Munich but I was fixated on the idea of having lunch in the mountains so we drove to GaPa - and thanks to no great weather (I assume), there was no Stau on the way there - first time ever! At first we were disappointed as it looked... Continue Reading →
A failed attempt at climbing Jochberg but a full success at having lunch with a spectacular view 🏔❄️🌊
I drove to Kesselbergsattel (850 m nn ) with a solid plan of hiking Jochberg but I realized pretty soon it ain't going to happen as as I wouldn't manage way down without trekking poles so I turned back and went up towards Herzogstandshaus. Turns out it's a very popular skitour route - good to... Continue Reading →
Winter Wonderland above Schliersee, 21.1.2018
Last weekend in Munich was fairly grey and I longed for real winter so I googled “winter hike” and off we drove to Hausham! I don’t think we actually walked the exact route I found but it was nevertheless fantastic and I got what I wanted: a true Winter Wonderland at Huberspitz - quite a... Continue Reading →
Wendelstein : up with a cable car and down on foot
We wanted to hike Wendelstein since couple of weeks already and it looked we'll manage it finally on Saturday 4.11 but I was feeling weak and lazy so in the end, we left home late and it would be a struggle to hike the peak in time to catch the last cable car down. So,... Continue Reading →
