Alps: Walchensee loop
This year weather was good for hiking in the Alps only in August. We were busy at the time so this weekend was the first one when we could go for a day trip somewhere.
I bought a book with description of day trips around Tegernsee. All trips were divided to several categories: blue, yellow, red and black. Blue being a easiest, and black being mostly challenging. Among the trips marked as black, we've chosen one which was the shortest: it should have taken 3.5 hours according to the book. I printed a map from google maps, it looked better than one in the book.
800 meters going up in a cable car. Than 400 meters elevation gain (including about 50 meters climbing assisted by steel ropes), 1200 meters going down.
Here is how the trail looked like yesterday:
There were two!! restaurants on the trail and one "Hütte".
Myself posing for a pic.
A last saddle we passed on a way down.
Besides usual ripe dewberries, cowberries, bilberries, there were plenty of mushrooms, but unlike berries mushrooms were not picked by hikers.
Here is a picasa album.
