July 5, 2025,Rotwand 1884m zum Sundowner

After a long Friday night celebration and a much-too-short night, a sundowner tour is the best solution.
The sunrises and sunsets haven't quite worked out this year, but it's still beautiful.
The initial thought 💭 is slowly turning into an obsession 💡 to combine both in one trip.
I'll probably have to lug my sleeping bag and coffee maker along.

November 8, 2022,2022 zum Rotwand-Haus 🏞️🚶

Today we went to the Croda Rossa with the summiteers. Easy tour on good paths. Also family-friendly hike. The hut was still open, even though the first snow had fallen, so we could sit on the terrace when the sun was shining.

April 12, 2022,4. Bergwanderung ROTWANDHAUS -> ROTWAND GIPFELKREUZ (1884m) | Runde von SPITZINGSEE (Bergtour)

Relaxed hike to the Rotwand, from Spitzingsee.

Only the last 200m from the Rotwandhaus to the summit cross of the Rotwand were difficult because there was still snow. However, the fantastic view made up for all the effort on the last few meters.
