August 11, 2024,Hochrappenkopf 2423 Meter

Different heights for the Hochrappenkopf.
We trust the summit cross at 2423 meters.
The path classifications T2 and T3 are not set in stone either.
The summit climb from the gap between Hochrappenkopf and Rappenseekopf, which is partly marked T3, is easier to master than the climb from Rappensee.
You have to do a bit of scrambling here in the …

December 28, 2023,Wanderung 29.12.2023: Jahresabschluss, bei Nacht zu der Rappenseehütte gewandert 🥾🏔️❄️

Visited the second home at the end of the year. We started our night hike at the Fellhornbahn at 11:45 p.m. Since the full moon was at its most beautiful in the sky, no headlamp was necessary to get to the key point. The key point at night is not without its own. The exit had to take some searching …
