Early hour, golden hour, was our motto today big grin

...after morning coffee just before Karawanks Tunnel we were already rushing to Innerkrems and a bit further, near Rosanin confused

, which was our today's starting point. The weather was already showing itself in clear and sunny light, while we were already climbing to the first "dumpling" Königstuhl(2336m), where the summit served us really kitschy views. A descent followed and then ascent to the ridge, where the hiked 2,000ers simply lined up; Friesenhalshöhe(2246m), Seenock(2260m), Vogelsangberg(2207m), Sauereggnock(2240m) and last Stubennock(2092m). The Nockberge group is a real paradise for ski tourers, but today, despite sinking in places, it was OK also for us walkers. We finished the tour after cca 6h with all stops... snow of all kinds - hard, crusty, soft, wet, dry,...
The day was a real winter fairy tale, company excellent, weather wonderful... I recommend!, together with face cream big grin

With PD Iskra Kranj I went to the southern part of the Nockberge range. We went to the beautiful grassy summit Grosser Speikkofel -2270m. We went via Karawanks Pass. The start was in the mountain village Skt. Lorenzen at 1470m. Exactly 800m up. From the village first a bit through the forest, then along fenced pastures up to the foot of the green mountain. The path is marked. Enjoying nice weather and beautiful flowery meadows. Sometimes all yellow, sometimes purple, other times white. Nobody around. But they did come to fix the pasture fences. They graze here in summer. On the return we went more than half the way differently - past the hut, which seems open in summer. The village even has a guesthouse and the beer hit the spot like never before. Back we drove via Ljubelj tunnel and also visited Rožna dolina (Rosental). There at guesthouse Podnar we ran into a wedding. It was really beautiful.
