A spring hike with unexpected challenges in the Snow

A long-awaited hike to a familiar summit took an unexpected turn when lingering snow on the ridge tested both my preparation and patience. Between sore legs, broken gear, and a sudden plunge into deep snow, this spring adventure reminded me that mountains always have a way of keeping things interesting.

A Hike Between Winter’s End and Spring’s Start

When life gets busy, even familiar trails can feel like an adventure. A recent hike—sunny, south-facing, and perfectly timed—reminded us that spring is just around the corner. From unexpected warmth to the first blooms, it’s the small details that make a day in the mountains unforgettable. Sometimes, the best moments are found where you least expect them.

No day in the Mountains for me today

Some days start as a gamble if the weather is good enough or not. A lot of times this gamble turnes out to result in a cool adventure. But not this time.

A Training Hike with Unexpected Opportunities

Some days, the weather doesn’t invite adventure — just cold, wind, and low clouds. Last Tuesday was one of those days, and I nearly stayed in. But I opted for a quick “training mountain” hike. The closed summit trail forced an early turnaround, yet the descending clouds turned an ordinary workout into a surprise photo session.

A Moody Day at Kochelsee

Last weekend, I didn’t feel like doing a long hike. The weather seemed uninviting, or perhaps I was just feeling lazy. Work had drained much of my energy, and the thought of a demanding trek didn’t appeal to me. Instead, I checked the webcams of the surrounding area and noticed fog blanketing the region around Kochelsee. Well we all know, fog often creates moody, atmospheric scenes, so I decided to visit two or three spots to see what I could capture.

A first Winter Hike to refresh the BasicsThe first snow of the season called for a short winter hike — no grand plans, just a quick round in the nearby mountains. Some nice motives, a surprising encounter and a reminder to think about some winter basics were all along the way.

#FotoVorschlag “Verloren im Dunst” “Lost in the Mist”For today’s #Fotovorschlag, I chose this photo from “The Whiteout” collection. I took it during a winter hike where we entered the clouds and experienced this very special scene. With the frozen humidity on the trees and absolute silence – this was an experience I will hardly forget.
