Last Saturday unfolded a solo adventure amidst the snowy landscapes. With the sun shining bright, the journey took me to a familiar mountain, leading to unexpected encounters, stunning views, and valuable reflections on preparation and indulgence during winter hikes.
A beautiful hike, no grand vistas – just memories and details. A simple fragment of the forest, rich in texture, unexpectedly captivating. Perhaps imperfect, but still worth sharing.
I almost skipped this hike with its modest elevation and no famed views, but it turned out to be a hidden gem. Lush greenery, zig-zag paths, and a gnarly tree made it unforgettable. Months later, a monochrome edit revealed the true beauty of a summit photo I’d nearly dismissed.
Join me on a nostalgic summer adventure from last year, where I explored a beautiful hiking trail with my wife and braved unexpected rain. Recollecting this experience, I realized how each moment, from the lush forestry to the rain-soaked return, contributed to our memorable day in the mountains.
A sunny day, a familiar trail, and a careful plan – our recent hike balanced adventure with caution due to my wife’s past knee issues. With cable cars as a backup and microspikes for safety, we enjoyed stunning views, crisp air, and a rewarding summit. A perfect day in the mountains!
I revisited snowshoeing in the Karwendel. Despite icy challenges, I found joy in the solitude and beauty of winter’s embrace. With new insights gained, this outing became more than just a hike; it was a meditative experience among the tranquil snow.
Over the past few weeks, life and weather kept me from hiking, but I finally seized the chance for a snowshoe tour in the Karwendel mountains. Navigating changing snow conditions, solitude, and unexpected reflections on safety, I embraced the journey – learning lessons about planning, preparedness, and the mental aspects of remote hiking.
I’m moving my videos to video.FranzGraf.de- no Youtube, no Instagram, no algorithms. While I might still post on YouTube occasionally, my focus is shifting to my own platform and the Fediverse. This means no ads, no gatekeepers, and no algorithms deciding what you see.
