DTM in the Munich Olympia stadium

DTM visits Munich for a Show evnet in the  Olympiastadium handshaking next door BMW headquarters for their next years entry into DTM. For me a chance to test my camera after a quite expensive clean-up and repair which was necessary after my USA trip desert experience.  Nice weather, spectacular event, and lot of noise. For me also emotional  to revisit Oly stadium, where I had 5 year a sesonal ticket watching more than 100 games of my favourite FC Bayern München. To see the gallery click on the foto below. A highlight was guest driver Nico Rosberg  in his formula 1 Mercedes giving a spectacular show.

The Herzogstand – Heimgarten Hike 2011

me at the heimgarten peak (1780m)
After my hikes on my GSNM phototrip in may/june this was my first long home hike in 2011. Like every year I hike the Herzogstand to Heimgarten rim loop starting in Urfeld. 
Herzogstand hike 2011 over time axis
A total of 20km (12.5 miles) and a summed elevation difference of 1376 m (4500 feet) in climbing.This year it took me 2h from Urfeld to Herzogstand peak, 1h on the rim from Herzogstand to Heimgarten 2 hours down to Walchensee village and finally another hour back along the Walchensee lake back to the car park. This time I had exactly tracked the Hike on the GPS to compare it with one of the more strenous hikes in USA, the Observation point hike.

Doing those hikes in US I never could really rank how difficult they were. The Observation point hike in Zion N.P. was with 4h quite short but the one I had the most elevation difference. I was surprised when comparing the GPX tracks that the summed height difference there was only 780 meter (2560 feet)..

In both hikes my pace was quite high being in good shape this year. Hope this gpx and screen logs will motivate me in the coming years to keep the pace and shape.

Herzogstand Heimgarten Hike 2012

Like every year I hiked the Herzogstand Heimgarten loop hike, my favourite home hike. I started 6.45 from home and arrived at 7.50 at the parking lot near Urfeld. Exactly at 8.00 I began my hike towards the first mountain which is Herzogstand (1731 m). This is the most exhausting part of the hike cause its a steep uphike over 2 hours. Arrived there at 10.00 am. After short break continued over the rim towards Heimgarten Peak (1790 m). This is the most beautiful part of the hike with amazing views into the Alps in the south and the lakeland in the north, as well as to Lake Kochelsee and Lake Walchensee right to ones feet. Due to socalled  “Foehn” winds the visibility was extraordinary. The next part of the hike is an endless long downclimb from Heimgarten peak (1790 m) to the Lake Walchesee level (800 m). Finaly a nice last 5 km walk along the lake back to the car park for a total of 20 km hiking distance.

Die Gruaberin

Schon lange nicht mehr so gelacht wie gestern Abend im Circus Krone bei Monika Gruber und Ihrem aktuellen Program “Wenn ned jetzt wann dann”. Total sympathische Dame mit einem unglaublichen Mundwerk und Kabarett-Komik auf höchstem Niveau. Hinterher saß sie gemütlich im Foyer und gab Autogramme und unterhelt sich mit den Gästen. Problematisch war die Ticketbeschaffung. Man muss schon auf Verkaufsstart früh morgens Schalnge stehen den Tickets sind in der Regel sofort ausverkauft. Ich selbst stand 1 h in der schalange am Zentralen Vorverkauf am Stacchus. Akustik im Circus Krone war leider nicht so toll.
