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 →
Kaiserschmarrn at Carl von Stahl Haus (1.736m) aka How to hike above Königsee and successfully avoid seeing the apparently stunning lake even once!

And if already there, why not go to Königsee which is just 50min away and beautiful like no other. So, geplant gemacht and off we went, arriving at Hinterbrand parking... Continue Reading →
Neuschweinstein walk around, with a cherry on the top at the end 🍒
Beautiful Saturday morning, we're driving to Schwangau to finally see the fairytale castle in all its glory. Walked up there together with swarms of Asians storming in to see the German Signature Place to See. It is a handsome castle alright, no doubt about that. Managed to squeeze ourselves through the Marienbrücke, had brunch on... Continue Reading →
What was supposed to be a beautiful walk to Trainsjoch but turned out to be a hike to Wirtsalm Sattel 😎 (30.9.2017)
The moral of the story is: do not go hiking without a map, dear children! Even if you just want to follow a route described in a book (no.47, page 86), map will still come handy if you wanna end up were planned. We drove to Bayrischzell and parked (we thought) at the beginning of... Continue Reading →
Rotwand 1885m from Spitzingsee, 27.8.17
5 of us got in the car to drove to Spitzingsee to climb Rotwand, apparently one of the more popular mountains in the area - but it turned out not to be very busy at all! We parked at Taubensteinbahn and climbed at first steep up from there. It was hot&humid so not... Continue Reading →
