Wetterstein 2014 |
|
| Why traveling to distant countries, when one of the most interesting mountain landscapes is just 90 minutes away? During late summer, we undertook a 4-day hiking tour through the Wetterstein mountains just south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Starting at the castle Elmau, we hiked up to the Schachen to King Ludwig II's royal mountain hut. Next day, we went further up to the Meilerhütte and took the via ferrata to the Partenkirchener Dreitorspitze at 2633m. On day three, we went from the Schachen house down into the Reintal valley to the Partnach source, stayed overnight in the Reintalangerhütte and went back next day to Garmisch-Partenkirchen through the spectacular Partnachklamm. |
