Höllental ❤️
(Named after the hellish canyon section at the bottom of this most amazing valley, a section with tunnels and waterfalls which made the valley impassible during winter months (even still now) and the only way in & out is via a very narrow path along the rocks higher up...)
#FootpathFriday

Square format high contrast B&W photo of a large and very deep high alpine valley, looking down from a mountain pass around 800 meters above the valley floor. A small footpath with switchbacks through some forest is visible near the bottom. The opposite side of the valley is formed by a single massive rock face with jagged peaks & ridge line...

For #footpathfriday I'm sharing this one again. It's really one of our most liked trails.
Even though it doesn't gain a lot of elevation, the path along the shore of the lake is all I like:
narrow, pretty nature like, absolutely great views, bends along the shores so that you don't see too far, and mountains all around ... what else would you need 🙂

A breathtaking lakeside trail scene unfolds in this image, capturing the serene beauty of a rugged coastal path. The foreground features a narrow, rocky trail that winds along the edge of a steep cliff. The trail, bordered by patches of grass and shrubs, invites exploration and promises stunning views. To the left of the trail, a calm lake stretches out, its tranquil waters reflecting the sunlight. The lake is nestled amidst the cliffs and trees, adding a sense of peaceful solitude to the scen…

In The Garden Of Eden.
(From one of my favorite hikes last year, October 2025... a place of absolute solitude, harmony, peace and positive vibes, a feast for the eyes)

The upper part of a high alpine glacial valley in the most beautiful autumn colors with golden yellow grasses, small bushes with orange leaves, red patches of heather and blueberries, and small swiss pines dotted here and there. A small waterfall emerges between some of the rock cliffs. The snow capped peaks of large mountain in the hazy background. Clear blue sky with a single small white cloud

For #footpathfriday I'm using this photo!
We went out on a very cloudy day, assumig that we'd also get into rain.
But we didn't want to hold ourselfes back and hike into the clouds. of course, we didn't have epic vistas - but the mood up there was just unique. The limited visibility, the lack of sounds, the dim light.
I really enjoyed that day!

A tranquil and atmospheric rural scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a frosty morning. The foreground features a field blanketed in a light layer of frost, its grassy surface glistening under the soft light of the rising sun. The frost adds a delicate sparkle, enhancing the peaceful and crisp atmosphere of the scene. In the background, a cluster of quaint houses nestles at the foot of a rolling hill, their rooftops also touched by frost. The houses, with their rustic cha…

#footPathFriday por la calzada de los borbones, en Cercedilla

Se ve un camino recto de tierra bordeado por altísimos pinos y vegetación baja de tipo arbustos. El cielo está un poco gris.

Kellenspitze (2025)
(latest 8x6" Kallitype print from last night)
This mountain is the tallest peak in the Tannheimer Alps, here seen from a narrow ridge path in the north east. It was a fabulous warm day with so many mountain flowers in full bloom and clouds forming/drifting between the passes and nearby peaks, later developing into a heavy thunderstorm (thankfully only when I was already descending again...)

Phone picture of a 8x6" kallitype print of a large mountain peak partially shrouded in clouds forming around it. In the foreground is a narrow ridge with a very similar profile as the peak. A small group of low-growth trees next to it and a large valley running down and opening up from the pass on the left. Dark moody sky.

For #FootpathFriday, I wanted to share this path that I walked a while ago. I didn't meet anyone for a very long time, which is very uncommon, but really a good experience.
This was really a very cool day. I also made a video about that day:

Just returned from a wonderful 11km Friday afternoon walk along the boundary between the seasons...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View of a mountain landscape from above a small lake with green/blue water, surrounded by forest and meadows. Snow capped larger mountains in the background.
View across a still half-frozen lake towards the other side basking in warm afternoon light. The grasses and reeds are completely dry and golden. Some trees scattered and the forest edge in the background.
Cute close up of a narrow path in the afternoon sunlight with heather (in bloom) growing on both sides. An old tree stump semi-overgrown with moss.
Close up of some heather near the 50m drop off toward the lake in the background. Beautiful blue water surface.

My today's #footpathFriday is one from the archives. I was really bad prepared that day, but luckily everything turned out well -- and I got this fantastic, dramatic shot!
more about that day:

A dramatic and breathtaking mountain landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the raw beauty and grandeur of nature. The scene is dominated by rolling green hills and rugged mountain peaks, their slopes covered in lush, vibrant grass and patches of rocky terrain. The hills create a natural amphitheater, leading the eye toward the towering mountain in the center. The mountain itself rises majestically, its steep and rocky face adding a sense of scale and drama to the scene. The peak is partia…

Sunset walk
Happy #FootpathFriday !
#LandscapePhotography #WinterWonderland #Mountains

Sunset over a beautiful snowed in landscape in the foothills of the Alps on a cold and crisp clear day. The sun flares just before disappearing behind the ridges of the mountains in the distance, which are already casting their shadows far and long. The view is from an open ridge and the snow in the foreground is illuminated by orange light. Other people's foot steps have a created a path in the snow, leading into the distance towards a forest on the right hand side. Clear azure sky.
