Two days off for a Catholic easter came handy. We went to Bavarian Forest mountains for hiking.

When hiking in the woods, we have not seen any animals, let a lone a Wolpertinger. We hoped we will encounter start of spring, but in fact it was winter. It was a too late for skiing, and too early for hiking, so we were the only guests in a small family hotel. The hotel owner suggested we can stay in the bar and try to see a wolpertinger right there, but instead we went to the woods.

Also, on the bird watching front I lost too.

Only seen a great tit.

There were many good trails, and snow was hardened so neither Julia nor myself needed snowshoes to go off track.

There was a full cover of snow on altitude above 700 meters, and our walks were in the range of 800-1200 meters. We have seen traces of other hikers and animals, but had hardly met anyone.

Up there, I tested my new macro lens on moss
