Strolling along the shores of Lake Braies is truly wonderful! The high peaks and the coniferous forest perfectly frame the water basin, so much so as to give the idea of living in a dream.

June 20, 2023,🇮🇹 Seekofelumrundung mit Gipfelsturm und anderen Highlights 💝
A tour that offered everything you could wish for on a mountain hike...or not ;-)

The morning semi-circle around the Pragser Wildsee was very relaxing. Few hikers or dog walkers were on the trail and the lake enjoyed the calm before the storm as much as we did. This was followed by a short hike over the enchanting Grünwaldalm to …

After we had allowed ourselves a rest day due to the weather, we covered a lot of distance and altitude today.
At the beautiful Pragser Wildsee on hiking trail no. 1 up in serpentines to the Seekofelhütte 🥵. On the unique plateau we continue on path 23 to the Seitenbachscharte about 1 hour and then we hike the 1000 m …

When it comes to over- and insta-tourism, there is no way around the Pragser Wildsee in the Dolomites. Nevertheless - here behind the Seekofel - there are also paths on which you don't meet anyone, only marmots. Path no. 1 up to the Seekofelhütte is still surprisingly well frequented, even on the summit of the Seekofel you are rarely alone, …

That was an absolute killer tour 🔪 today in the Dolomites 🤩. What a gigantic experience 🥰 in an incredible setting 🏔️. After a quick warm-up at Lake Braies and a quick look 😳 at the summit cross on Seekofel (phew, that's far away), the hard work 🥵 really began. 4 hours just up the mountain. And that with hands …

Today's crossing of the Seekofel was a tour on our bucket list. Our expectations were fully met, the view from the summit down to Lake Braies is just as spectacular as the panoramic view of the Dolomites. The climb from the Seekofelhütte to the summit is not without difficulty, but not really dangerous. I would only not recommend the climb …
