winter hiking tour at spitzingsee, BY

the 1st winter hiking tour of the season at lake spitzingsee. this time i was joined by my father (almost 77 years old) who is my guest in munich right now. 

this tour was easy and short, maybe 1,5 hours up the hill from spitzingsee (1,084m) via untere firstalm cottage (1,320m) to suttenstein pass (1,398m). but yes, the last few hundred meters through knee high snow from the firstalm were not easy at all, my dears ⛄

we like the bavarian alps in the lake spitzingsee area a lot. we have been at the nearby rotwand (1884m) in summer, you remember?

my first snowshoe hike at lake spitzingsee

when your children are small, you have to teach them everything. when they become bigger, you can learn a lot from them 😄. it is as easy as that ... i should probably start a series / hashtag #learningfromchildren, shouldn't i?

#itisnevertoolate aka enjoy pictures from my first snowshoe hike (snowshoes, schneeschuhwanderung) with an altitude of more than 600 metres with my eldest daughter + her boyfriend at lake spitzingsee in the bavarian alps. => DAY #1

this nice cottage 'obere maxlraineralm' (1520 m.a.s.l.) caught fire just 1 day after we were here ... so sad :-((((( does it burned down completely? i don't know, but the damage costs are approx. 50.000 € if i remember that headline correctly

unser einer trinkt maxlrainer 😂 ~

let's bring home a luck stone for my wife 💖

back to lake spitzingsee; a small church from stone.

DAY #2

my wife was so impressed by the snowy countryside just 1 hour away from munich that we came the next day again here. we walked around the lake spitzingsee + went up to the skier cottage untere firstalm (1318 m.a.s.l.) + enjoyed some rest and a good dinner in the historic restaurant 'historische wurzhütte' from 1720

MoCo 💕

 untere firstalm (1318 m.a.s.l.)
