Another weekend and another hike with the Munich International Hikers. Even though this hike was advertised as an eays hike only 7 hikers showed up (me included).

I met with the others in Aschau. The weather was pretty much perfect and it seemed like there was very little snow left. So I decided to leave my snowshoes in the car, probably not the best decision but more on this later. Read more »

Last Saturday my girlfriend and I decided to spend the Christmas weekend snowshoe hiking in the Alps. We packed our gear and drove towards Wildbad Kreuth. I have driven the road from the Autobahn to Tegernsee many times, but this morning with fresh snow on the road was by far the fastest I ever reached my destination. Thank you to all the other Bavarians who stayed off the road! Read more »

I didn’t want to drive any further so I decided to repeat the hike up Bodenschneid I have done a year or two ago together with a colleague. Read more »
