Hiking Taubenstein

25 May, 2014 jpcorp Leave a comment

Another hike starting at Spitzingsee going up to the east. Going to the west leads you to Tegernsee.

taubenst02 — You reach this signs after you’ve done most of the hike. From here it’s just another 15 minutes to the top of Taubenstein.

Hiking up Wank / Garmisch-Partenkirchen

26 October, 2013 jpcorp Leave a comment

Wank is a 1.780m high mountain near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Surely not as impressive as Zugspitze but going up more than 1.000hm is a nice hike and you have great views including wonderful colours of the trees in fall:

Herzogstand Heimgarten hiking

24 August, 2013 jpcorp Leave a comment

Hiking up Heimgarten and then going across the ridge to Herzogstand is one of the most spectacular hikes we have done so far. It’s pretty strenuous and takes almost 5 hours – but absolutely worth the effort!

Heimgarten-2 — First part of the hike mostly underneath the trees

Heimgarten-3 — View towards Herzogstand, our goal

Heimgarten-5 — A first glance at Walchensee

Heimgarten-6 — Second glance at Walchensee, a bit further up the mountain

Heimgarten-10 — Having a break at Heimgarten hut

Heimgarten-11 — View towards Herzogstand, our final goal

Heimgarten-13 — Kochelsee while walking across the ridge

Heimgarten-14 — In the upper left corner you can see Herzogstand, a small hut that had been built by King Ludwig II because of the great view across Walchen- and Kochelsee

Heimgarten-15 — Some parts of the ridge are steep and you better be careful

Heimgarten-16 — The trail across the ridge

Wallberg Tegernsee in summer time

15 June, 2013 jpcorp Leave a comment

This time we are hiking up Wallberg that greatly overlooks Tegernsee, approx. 900hm uphill. The trail is fairly easy to walk, but after the workout you surely will enjoy teh “Weizenbier” in the restaurant on the top.
