After a 2-hour rain break in the Granatalm, we went for a quick lap 🌦🙈

Today we went for a short walk on the Pengen.
First we went to the Granatalm, where I waited patiently for Volker, who was walking up from the mid-station. I was definitely too lazy for a long hike today! 😃
From there we went to the Granatkapelle (Granat Chapel). We looked around, marveled, took photos, and signed the chapel book. …

March 8, 2022,❄️🇦🇹Zillertal - Winterwanderung am Penken 🇦🇹❄️

Craziness! I don't know when I last saw such masses of snow. As a child of the Ruhr area you are not used to that at all.

Everything glitters and sparkles, and the dazzling white almost hurts my eyes when I get to the top of the Kombibahn mountain station. 🤩

February 28, 2024,Winterwanderweg zum Penkenjoch 🥾🌤️

We actually wanted to go skiing in the Zillertal Arena (Zell am Ziller/Gerlos) today. We then took the Rosenalmbahn up the mountain to find that unfortunately we weren't above the clouds and visibility was zero. Since we didn't know the ski area at all and we couldn't get our bearings due to the lack of visibility, we decided against ⛷️ …

Comfortable hike from the Penken over to the Penkenjoch with lots of breaks to enjoy the view and the sun and to take photos.
It went up with the Penkenbahn from Mayrhofen. Then we hiked along the signposted winter hiking trail and were able to enjoy great views of the wonderful mountain world again and again. A highlight in winter …

Actually just a simple walk at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Many inns invite you to linger. Can also be collected for children in a “hiking pass” stamp booklet. It is also clear that there are a lot of people of all ages out and about here. In sunny weather a fantastic view. Be sure to check the weather and …

April 17, 2022,Finkenberg Penken Panorama Winter

Beautiful panoramic winter hiking trail. Well signposted but quite strenuous in soft snow. Parking at the bottom of the Finkenberg Bahn. With parking garage. There's food on every corner. Look a little at the prices are not the same everywhere.
