It's the third time in the last five years that I've been to the Hochgern on New Year's Eve with October temperatures. That's awesome.

July 13, 2024,Marquartstein: Nebelsuppengipfelglück auf dem Hochgern

Die Prognose für heute war recht mies, scheint nicht zu stimmen. Dann kann ja doch ein Berg her, nicht, dass sich die Beine über mangelndes Höhenmetertraining beschweren. Gipfel hat die Latschliste noch genügend.

Ich fahre in den Nachbarort Marquardtstein, um 10:40 Uhr brech ich auf'n Wanderparkplatz, ääähh quatsch, brech ich am Wanderparkplatz (620 m NN) auf.
