Beautiful summit, which requires a bit of fitness and surefootedness, rewarded with a great view! The masses frolic on the Herzogstand and on the Jochberg. Those who like it a bit quieter should visit the Simetsberg.

I'm definitely listening more to my inner voice as the weather witch again.
The view was still a pleasure. No matter whether the snow-covered peaks in the Karwendel, Wetterstein …

A strenuous hike up Simetsberg. Unfortunately, visibility was limited and worsened as the day progressed. So, I left my large camera in my backpack and was able to concentrate on the trail. Since there's no cable car up Simetsberg and no hut, the influx of visitors was manageable. The GPS had a few glitches, but the actual elevation gain was …

I've done Simetsberg several times, but only in winter and on a different route. So, today we tried something new😊. The first 200-300 meters of ascent are up the forest road until the really beautiful part begins – a narrow path, flowers, a great panorama of Walchensee and the Karwendel mountains🥰...
