Belchen Summit Station

Highlight • Summit

It's nice to see how the gondolas float over you. As long as you can walk well, the climb is worth it. If you have knee problems, you can take the train down if necessary.

November 13, 2022,Sonnenuntergang Belchen - über dem Nebel 🙂

After surviving the infection (just a bit of a cold), it should be time to let the frogs breathe again 🙂

Since the webcam promised a lot of high fog, we went up - above the clouds. Since I'm anything but fit, I went up the Belchen by train. Running down was exhausting enough, it will be some time before …

Brigitte, Kristina and I got up very early today. A bit late 😉 but not too late, the three of us arrived at the summit on time. The sunrise was just Giga. And worth every bead of sweat. Definitely imitate whoever is here.😃
