Holenke

Highlight • Summit

The mountain itself is very beautiful. But with mass tourism, like a pedestrian zone in a big city, it's not the right place for anyone seeking solitude, peace, and isolation.

The tour is certainly nice when it's less busy. There was so much going on today that there wasn't much room to sit at the summit cross. The parking lot is also small, so either walk up from the bottom or get there early.
Beautiful, very strenuous tour but worthwhile view 😍!

This morning ass... got up soon, the weather forecast was too good to be true.
Fresh temperatures and no cloud was the forecast :-)
Hiking backpack packed and started at 3:00 a.m. with the ascent to the Kanisfluh with a headlamp, warm coffee and an onion look.
The Kanisfluh is an ideal mountain for sunrises, due to its central location …

Fantastic weather with a great view of the powdered mountains and as far as Lake Constance. The paths were still quite muddy due to the snow and accordingly slippery. Kanisfluh is always beautiful. The colchicums have long since ushered in autumn, but for us the Indian summer gave it all. ☺️

July 25, 2024,Sonnenuntergang Kanisfluh | Bregenzerwald

Oh yes! Today I hiked up a mountain that had been on my wish list for a long time. The Kanisfluh looks 'invincible' from below, with its steep rock faces and sharp edges. However, the summit of the Holenke is quite easy to reach from the Edelweiss on the Oeberle (recommended stop!). The path up alone was amazing. Because we …
