It's cloudy and rainy in Munich, but in the mountains this Wednesday is the only sunny day of the week! What a pleasure to be out and about in the mountains on a day like this :-)

The sunshine during the train ride has already put a big grin on our faces.

After a short bus ride later we are walking across green meadows towards the foot of the mountain.

Pure idyll

There is snow on the higher peaks

We can enjoy such a beautiful autumn day.

We take the path over the Schnoader Alm (the Bavarian name) - on the map it is called Schnaiteralm
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_00754775778742179f8a715bed460951~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_00754775778742179f8a715bed460951~mv2.jpg)
In the meantime the ones who came by car have joined us and we are complete.

Autumn path

Picturesquely placed on a small bridge
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_3ed519e0b0c74586ad03269d77738c42~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_3ed519e0b0c74586ad03269d77738c42~mv2.jpg)
And again behind a pasture passage
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_98ed4018fc3f4a84a37d34885b20908d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_98ed4018fc3f4a84a37d34885b20908d~mv2.jpg)
We scramble up a slippery path between the ferns
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_9fbf382ef12c467ead3f42f0e62c765f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_9fbf382ef12c467ead3f42f0e62c765f~mv2.jpg)
The slippery path demands a lot from us
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_2e4d434ac6d04f899f531f65a3f12cff~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_2e4d434ac6d04f899f531f65a3f12cff~mv2.jpg)
But soon we enjoy a wonderful view towards Lenggries
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_9a2db0eba0b349cbbcb6cd4cab271d1c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_9a2db0eba0b349cbbcb6cd4cab271d1c~mv2.jpg)
This is a nice spot to take a short break
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_17dcac8c93624e1aaf44750be864896d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_17dcac8c93624e1aaf44750be864896d~mv2.jpg)
The little break for a snack did us good and so we tackle the rather steep ascent towards Zwieselberg
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_5a50a593fb3748bba7cde3618604cc3e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_5a50a593fb3748bba7cde3618604cc3e~mv2.jpg)
That is the hardest part of the hike
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_3bf01b8ecea848989bf017dce7e7fefa~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_3bf01b8ecea848989bf017dce7e7fefa~mv2.jpg)
From now on it goes uphill more gently
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_c39d0bc512784109a1cfa6aad67a6a46~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_c39d0bc512784109a1cfa6aad67a6a46~mv2.jpg)
It's not far to the summit
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_440844a35ef34e4a8572e7569032bb6d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_440844a35ef34e4a8572e7569032bb6d~mv2.jpg)
Past the beautiful Schnaiteralm / Schnoada Alm
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_ff3ea8c0c51d465babaddd4240b82a34~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_ff3ea8c0c51d465babaddd4240b82a34~mv2.jpg)
There we are

What a wonderful view! The sun is hiding behind the clouds, but we have a dramatic light
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_e8c46daaaab546329349df79e5c7c2e3~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_e8c46daaaab546329349df79e5c7c2e3~mv2.jpg)
You can even see the Großglockner far back
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_493f374ead394d13b17f568afc89b359~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_493f374ead394d13b17f568afc89b359~mv2.jpg)
View of Brauneck and the Benediktenwand
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_eec89810990c4e93a4f75b0e27f0ce34~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_eec89810990c4e93a4f75b0e27f0ce34~mv2.jpg)
But it gets too cold up here and so we soon start our descent towards the Blomberghaus. This is the north side and there is already some snow.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_e04f1d20c8064c3bbaf0ec4e233518d5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_e04f1d20c8064c3bbaf0ec4e233518d5~mv2.jpg)
It quickly becomes a bit more pleasant for hiking again
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/03ac42_948bb7ce0dde4881827ec7e26ec682d1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_83,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/03ac42_948bb7ce0dde4881827ec7e26ec682d1~mv2.jpg)
There it is, the Blomberghaus
