Autumn hike to the Laber

As always we are not impressed by the weather forecast, get on the train to Oberau and take the bus from there to Oberammergau.

ree

Passing Ettal Monastery, we head up towards the clouds.

ree

Cute little calves are admired and photographed.

ree

From here it goes uphill.

ree

Soon it gets steeper.

ree

Further up we walk through dense coniferous forest and fern bushes.

ree

We like it here!

ree

We have got a bit off the path, but discover an ancient maple.

ree

Back on the right path, we pass giant fallen trees.

ree

Between mosses and tree roots...

ree

...and under fallen tree trunks...

ree

...we finally reach more open terrain with a magnificent view.

ree

In the fog these rock formations look even more interesting.

ree

There is our destination: The Laber mountain with its antenna-armed house.

ree

No view towards the Zugspitze, but nevertheless we take a group picture here.

ree

As there is a nice view on the other side, we take just another group picture towards the north.

ree

But now we need some warm drinks.

ree

Even though the cable car promises a comfortable return trip, we go down on foot.

ree

It's pretty foggy down there ...

ree

In the best of moods we walk downhill and can even enjoy some sun.

ree

These fellows give us a good scare when one of them tries to push Denise away with his horns.

ree

We continue under a blue sky over wide meadows.

ree

Passing a bridge...

ree

... we get to a hut with "interesting" decoration.

ree

Bavarian humour ;-)

ree

Back in Oberammergau.As so often, we find that we enjoy wonderful hikes even in mixed weather.
