fockenstein, 1564m ~ hiking in bavaria, BY

my father visits me in munich for a week, so it's tme for hiking + drinking beer in tourists locations, isnt it? 

last time in we have enjoyed a winter hiking tour at lake spitzingsee. this time we have'd really good luck with the weather conditions as it was sunny and +25 degrees celsius🌞 for 2 days. then the next 2 weeks again rainy & snowy with temperatures between +10 and -1 degrees ⛄

the object of our dreams today were the auer alm 1270m + the fockenstein mountain 1564m. we've started from the hikers' parking slot in the söllbachtal valley in bad wiessee at lake tegernsee. our total attitude was 804 height metres. not bad for two that untrained fellows like us, wouldnt you say?
