The Tegelberg again. It's simply gigantic and beautiful. And the panoramic view all around is fantastic 🤗.
The hike is always worth it.
A cheeky Alpine chough also asked for food.

February 27, 2022,Tegelberg Grödeltour

Start was the free lower parking lot of the revolving hut. Via the Kälberwäldeweg we headed towards the promising Schutzengelweg. I left the Rohrkopfhütte, which was open this time, on the left. Wanted to eat up at the Tegelberghaus. Unfortunately, this was closed due to Corona.
A cool jogger in summer clothes was going up.
An ambulance was also on …

Afternoon round on the "Fingersteig" via ferrata on the Tegelberg. This is relatively short with about 130 meters of altitude, but has a few sections in the C / D and D degree of difficulty. When it is wet, some areas are felt to be a half to a full step more difficult.

Tegelberg was on the agenda today. The weather forecast was great, with sunshine starting around 10 a.m. ☀.
That wasn't the case. It only peeked out a few times.
The Ammergau Alps were radiant with sunshine.
The fog lingered until the afternoon.
The trail was perfect for the time of year. There was only a little residual snow in two …
