On Saturday we did our traditional Bike tour around the Lake Starnberg. A 50 km bike tour to start the season 2008. Sunday again a sunny day we used the enthusiasm for another small bike tour around Lake Staffelsee in Murnau. Here the first biking photos.

… and 2h later at the championchip parade on Munichs Leopoldstreet. Related Posts:In 2007 as a preparation for my 220 km hike on the Camino de Santiago I had done the Hike to the Herzogstand (1730m). I was in good shape then and it had took me 6 hours of quick hiking for the whole roundtrip. This year I am little bit fatty and not in good shape but I wanted to recheck if I can still do that hike in 6 hours. The hike starts in Urfeld upper forest parking lot at around 850m and in 1 h 30 min of steep nonstop climbing along a forest road I reached (totally wet from sweating) the Herzogstandhaus (1575 m). Another half hour later I reached the peak of the Herzogstand (1730 m) were I had a 10 min break with a Brezel and lot of water. I already knew that I am slower this time then the year before.
View from Herzogstand Peak (1730m) along the ridge to the Heimgarten Peak (1790m) in the background. The most beautiful part of the Hike is the ridge between the Peaks of the Herzogstand to the 60m higher elevated Heimgarten (1790 m). You have nice views to the Kochel Lake and the Lake Walchensee. Its always adventurous to do a ridge hike and here you have always these nice views down to the Kochel- and Walchen- Lakes, and to the Alps and you can see also very good to Lake Starnberg in the distance. Another Break at the Heimgarten where I stayed a little bit longer to enjoy the views and to relax, cause meantime I was really tired.
View back from Heimgarten to the Herzogstand peak with Lake Walchensee on the right. Finally the easy part, another 2 hours walk down the Heimgarten from 1790m down to 850m at the small village of Walchensee directly at the same named Lake. The last part then the 4 km back to the car parking in urfeld along the Lake took me another 45 minutes. This year the whole trip took me 6h 30.
Down at the Walchensee Lake, view to the Jochberg (1570m). Related Posts: alps, bavaria, heimgarten, herzogstand, hiking, mountains |  hiking, Munich, Germany, Photography | 
Comments are closedToday there was a partial lunar eclipse (80%) visible in Munich. I made some photos with my D80 fom our balcony in South of Munich. I had set my alarm clock to remind me, I was playing GTA IV in between the photography shots. What I also noticed: I would need a tripod of higher value to work more professional.  at around 9:40 p.m. start of the show  at around 10:15 p.m. nearly half of the moon is covered  at 11:10 p.m. thats it: around 80% coverage Related Posts:Today with the sunny weather we made our first hike of 2009. Beside the chilling temperatures it was a nice 3 hour walk along the Amper river. We had read that the beaver is present there and we saw traces of his presence, see the photo.
