Markus enjoying the view from Karlstor, the shady saddle between Kleiner and Grosser Widderstein. The tour is well known for staying in good condition for several days after snowfall. But today, spring temps have already caught up and the snow is heavy.

The cross-country track in Schwende is in superb shape after the recent snowfalls. Thank you Loipenteam!

Evening light radiating over over Schwarzwassertal

Hählekopf and Hohe Ifen bathing in fresh snow and sunlight, during an easy tour to Kuhgehrenspitze.

Idyllic winter scenery on one of the few powder days so far this year.

The day dawns with deep, fresh powder snow everywhere...

Toreck - short, steep and absolutely scenic. Our first ski tour of the season couldn't have had better snow conditions. The absence of snow this winter long left skiers in despair, but today that resentment is forgotten. May it only last...

Early winter awe.

Fatbiking on the old MTB ;-)

2½ months since Watzmann, and Markus is still rehabilitating and bound to stay down in the valley. But we're not very fond of suffering. Theres' always something, no matter how little, to enjoy and explore. Rivers and waterfalls, a lingering flower, the wanderings of mind...

At road's end

During a short mountainbike tour around Kleinwalsertal this panorama of Hohe Ifen opens up before us.

Sandra participates in a compass course to eventually upgrade her diving certificate to CMAS**. Last time the compass had got stuck and was useless, but today all went according to plan! :-)

Sea of cottongrass

Cottongrass is one of our favourite plants - so you can imagine the euphoria at finding a sea full of them! Here at Piesenkopf, Germany. (Eriophorum angustifolium / Schmalblättriges Wollgras / Ängsull)
