grosser arber, 1456 m

what a nice hiking tour to the small and the great arber, which is with 1456 m the highest peak in the bayerischer wald, the mountain massif on the german-czech-austrian border area.

coming from deggendorf my tour started in bodenmais from the risslochweg hikers' parking place  besides the riessloch waterfalls up to the great arber. after 'climbing' up 3 of its 5 stone peaks (ok, walking is more sufficient here) i went to the chamer hütte (cottage) and the small arber peak (1383 m). after that there was a different way through the riessloch canyon back to bodenmais. without breaks lasts the tour 5 hours, with much appreciated breaks for enjoying the nature at least 7 hours 😄.what surprised me most was the fact that even in late may there was still some snow from the south side of the mountain. as the north side of arber is a skiing area, there is still a lot of natural + artificial snow from the anyway colder north side, you know?

enjoy few pictures

still some snow out there

 the rissloch waterfalls (also risloch, riesloch, rissloch, rießöloch - select the name you like most)

please choose the right way ... both finish at the großer arber plateau :-)

do not ask me what kind of surveillance / climate control stuff is that. or maybe just a meteorological observatory? who knows?

deggendorf - lower bavaria

what a nice break for dinner in the lower bavaria's (niederbayern) city of deggendorf. when on road, the best of all wives and me used to eat lunch/dinner outside the highway stations in some interesting places on the way in order to learn more about the area and or abouts its people. this time we have visited the small 1000+ years old city of deggendorf. (first written memories exist from the year 1002).

enjoy few pictures from deggendorf, the gate to the bayerischer wald NP (bavarian forest):

May Day = Mayday for the world :-)

i like the May Day celebration, especially when the weather is nice and sunny 💥. it is the international day of work (labor) and if spelt mayday it is the last call to save the world, if you asked me 😍. and yes, many peace, freedom, trade unions + justice movement groups join the traditional event / celebration every year.

this time i've been with my wife, so we enjoyed to spend the afternoon in the city :-)
