Frosty morning
Blue-Green-Eye:
Achensee
Blue-Green-Eye:
Karwendelbahn
Blue-Green-Eye:
We had a big tour planned
Blue-Green-Eye:
South side of Achensee
Blue-Green-Eye:
There is an animal themed walk
Blue-Green-Eye:
A bunch of alps animals are presented
Blue-Green-Eye:
The path ahead
Blue-Green-Eye:
The view back
Blue-Green-Eye:
Karwendel mountains
Blue-Green-Eye:
Reaching the marked path
Blue-Green-Eye:
We walked this in summer, but the conditions were treacherous today
Blue-Green-Eye:
The snow was very loose, very deep and very soft
Blue-Green-Eye:
Leaning into the mountain made it worse
Blue-Green-Eye:
And there was a vertical drop over rocks
Blue-Green-Eye:
We turned around and went back to the ski area
Blue-Green-Eye:
We were glad to be alive
Blue-Green-Eye:
After lunch
Blue-Green-Eye:
We continued the animal path
Blue-Green-Eye:
Path number 4 crosses a ski run
Blue-Green-Eye:
Then it's a climb back up to the top
Blue-Green-Eye:
Luckily it's a designated winter walk, so it's flattened snow
Blue-Green-Eye:
Nearly back at the top
Blue-Green-Eye:
Achensee...the northern end
Blue-Green-Eye:
Karwendelbahn
Blue-Green-Eye:
We decided to lose the snow shoes and hire some toboggans
Blue-Green-Eye:
Here we go
Blue-Green-Eye:
Ah! This was good fun. I prefer this over skiing, actually...
