 | Rauhenstein (near Hohen Ziegspitz)
24. 04. 2021 17:46:54
From Garmisch to Griesen, right after the first level crossing to a small parking lot: there it starts on a solitary hunter's path up to the hunter's hut and then the path continues to Hohen Ziegspitz. Before the long ridge crossing towards Ziegspitz, you can almost pathless turn left on track trace... |

 | Under South Face to East Route | Kampenwand Circuit
2. 05. 2021 16:13:14
Kampenwand somehow also belongs to the special peaks of the Munich locals - and scenically it is simply very attractive. Moreover, the Chiemgau Cross as the largest summit cross in the Bavarian Alps is worth a visit alone. Today a kind of circuit, namely from Aschau up, under the south face to the e... |

 | A small treat | Breitensteinfensterl
16. 05. 2021 17:12:27
Bockstein and Breitenstein from Fischbachau are cozy nice summit goals for nice round tour. Who takes Breitenstein window: worth viewing alone. Serious mountaineers go up window - no big issue but only for sovereign free solo weak 3rd in dirty boots on greasy holds up and down. Less sovereign - took... |

Kofel, Matterhorn of Oberammergau - always a nice mountain time and again. Today variant for true mountaineers, Left Armpit with nice 3rd pitches demands mountaineer but climbable in boots. Not alone but with patience rope teams follow - watch rockfall. Then Kofelturm Normalweg requires climber - 4+... |
 | From Längflue on skis in shoulder season - utterly alone | Mittelallalin
21. 06. 2021 21:06:59
Normally you can't go up there peacefully - it's more a gag for winter's final end and high-altitude air sniffing. On Mittelallalin piste area when no piste prepared and glacier reclaims spots (crevasses!)... |

 | From west to east (with Richi & Dani Arnold) over the 'Man Eater' | Lyskamm
14. 07. 2021 15:16:37
Caution: long video of a windy ridge traverse! Really only for true mountain lovers. Among mountaineers, Lyskamm has a special reputation, also because it used to have extreme cornices on both sides and some mountaineer plunged into the depths with a breaking cornice. Well, the cornices are not so b... |

20. 11. 2019 18:49:09

 | Panorama (5a) | Yegihorn South face
22. 07. 2021 16:21:53
The Yegihorn's south face has four stars in the Plaisir climbing guide, deservedly. To the right in the south face lies the 'Panorama' route: it is somewhat harder than the very popular 'Alpendurst' and more demanding, as the hook spacings are wider than on 'Alpendurst', but actually 'Panorama' is e... |

23. 07. 2021 20:27:17
Allalinhorn from Mittelallalin - an easy tour to a beautiful panoramic mountain, the normal route is nice to hike in good conditions and heavily trafficked. After Teejoch, you can detour to the upper West ridge and be guaranteed alone. A nice little variation to the summit.... |

4. 09. 2021 19:02:37
A beautiful autumn day, just right for entering a pretty rocky cirque with views of two lakes that are real eyecatchers: Then the Vordere Drachenkopf above Coburger Hütte is a rewarding goal. First cool in the shade up Hohen Gang, along Seebensee, up to the hut, eat an apple strudel there and then o... |

 | Panorama Via Ferrata Seefelder Spitze
23. 09. 2021 08:00:06
Opened in June 2021: the Panorama Via Ferrata to Seefelder Spitze. A C via ferrata with nice sporty sections, interspersed with some hiking terrain and sections A and B, overall a fun approach to the much-visited Seefelder Spitze from the cable car. The summit offers a great view of the Karwendel. O... |
 | Through Hölltalklamm and over Rinderweg | Hölltorkopf
26. 09. 2021 08:17:46
From Hammersbach through Hölltalklamm and then up Rinderweg to Rinderscharte is a repeatedly beautiful mountain hike, and once you've mastered the about 1,300 elevation meters, it's been some sport. On the way you're not alone of course. But those seeking some peace and a little summit bliss can sti... |
 | Zwölferköpfl Traverse
3. 05. 2020 17:30:40
From Eschenlohe over Zwölferköpfl - Partly very solitary tour - First by bike to the junction of the hiking trail to Pusteralm, same route as to Hohe Kiste. Shortly after Pusteralm turn west and up to the ridge to Zwölferköpfl. Along the ridge to Zwölferköpfl via narrow path. Descent from the summit... |

12. 05. 2020 19:39:26
A Munich home mountain in drizzle - Schafreuter in 'solitude', compensated by some nice animal encounters: alpine salamander, chamois, newt and bumblebee. - If not wetter than drizzle, a relaxed tour to a mountain overcrowded in sunshine.... |
 | Rappenklammspitze
4. 06. 2020 19:42:09
From Hinterriss to Rappenklammspitze. A solitary, beautiful Karwendel tour without difficulties, only the summit approach itself goes over exposed scree terrain. - The round tour over Wechselkopf is demanding, the key section just before Wechselkopf exposed and very scree-covered; not shown here.... |
 | Ascent and circumambulation | Geiselstein
7. 06. 2020 09:34:41
Geiselstein in the Ammergau Alps, an imposing mountain with interesting summit approach (I-II, secure if in doubt; bolts at belays present). The circumambulation from west to east over a small hunting hut and descent via Jägersteig makes the tour a solitary treat in spring.... |

 | Back via Ölrain and Osterfeuerköpfl | Hirschberg from the south
21. 11. 2021 17:57:09
May it be a bit wild? - Hirschberg is usually ascended from Ohlstadt and is already a rather little frequented tour. Yet it's a nice viewpoint with varied approach. It's just a bit hidden. But who really likes solitude goes up from the south, on narrow paths, mostly trackless, always along the flank... |
 | Alpine salamander
14. 06. 2020 17:57:49
Rain in the Bavarian pre-Alps sometimes brings encounters with the alpine salamander - this time three in quick succession. Two of them are briefly visible here.... |
 | Soiern round
15. 06. 2020 13:02:50
Dreamy spring tour to Soiernspitze - a wide round with numerous quiet passages and Soiernspitze as main summit. From Krün over Einskopf, Feldernkreuz to Soiernspitze and over Soiernseen and Fischbachal back. At the end two hours forest road a bit boring - but well, the overall tour is worth it.... |
 | Jegihorn via ferrata
10. 07. 2020 14:59:50
The highlight is the Nepal bridge, one of the most impressive via ferrata bridges in the Alps. Otherwise a nice via ferrata to a Valais 3000er with grandiose views.... |
