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
In the meantime the ones who came by car have joined us and we are complete.
Autumn path
Picturesquely placed on a small bridge
And again behind a pasture passage
We scramble up a slippery path between the ferns
The slippery path demands a lot from us
But soon we enjoy a wonderful view towards Lenggries
This is a nice spot to take a short break
The little break for a snack did us good and so we tackle the rather steep ascent towards Zwieselberg
That is the hardest part of the hike
From now on it goes uphill more gently
It's not far to the summit
Past the beautiful Schnaiteralm / Schnoada Alm
There we are
What a wonderful view! The sun is hiding behind the clouds, but we have a dramatic light
You can even see the Großglockner far back
View of Brauneck and the Benediktenwand
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.
It quickly becomes a bit more pleasant for hiking again
There it is, the Blomberghaus
We're having a good time and a delicious meal.
Stylish view through the window
Warmed up and satisfied we make our way back
Land art
Here you can learn something about nature
Easy-to-miss land art by the wayside

Well, the descent would have been faster with the toboggan
Back in the valley
A wonderful sunset on the return trip
Once again an enjoyable day!
