That day in the #rofangebirge was a bit remarkable. I totally forgot that temperature decreases with increasing elevation and that "overcast" can also mean "light rain".
Well. Nothing serious happened but I learned to prepare better next time.

Good morning friends!
This is one more photo from last week's hike. I somehow like photos of such sharp turns. Maybe because the incline is visible? Not sure.
Anyways! This was after a part of the trail that was a bit exposed and shortly before reaching the summit. Weather wasn't all great that day, but the whole day was a gem 💎 🥰

Everything else is staged or didn't get up on their own feet.

Just a quick snap of memory of a hike in the Austrian alps. A tale of starting wrongly equipped... 🤦🏻♂️
Everything went fine in the end. But I really didn't start very smart.

This Photo was taken in January when I went out to try some foreground. Right there I had to pull myself back because I wanted to reach the summit and almost forgot about the photo opportunity.
I put down my rucksack, went town on my knees and started taking photos instead. And I am very happy that I did so! I just wonder if I should remove the tiny tree right under the cross 🤔

Instead of doing sports I wrote a bit about a hike that we did last year - despite a challenging forecast.
But as we were just well prepared with umbrellas, hats and ponchos we had a unique mountain experience! The rain and wind hit us right at the summit - but it was just a great moment in the elements! I wouldn't want to miss it!
Enjoy!

Hey, and one more from this great day. It really was pretty windy! But I really liked walking along this trail and having this view to the left coming up again and again.
Luckily the wind was really warm, so it never was inconvenient or so. Just on the summit we used the softshell jackets. Luckily, we were well prepared. And it made the hike a little more adventurous ;-)
Enjoy!
