In celebration of the relaunch of GipfelReisen.de I will post seven of my most favorite hiking videos for the coming week.<\/p>\n
The Munich Oktoberfest is also know as „Vomit Fest“. What could be better then to leave Munich in order to visit a mountain the is called „Am Kotzen“ („Vomiting<\/strong>„). As always, I found it on a map, surounded by lot’s of other „Vomit“ thing, like the „Vomit Gorge“ or „Vomit Cirque“. I had to go there. However, the tour turned out not at all as something to vomit.<\/p>\n I wanted to combine it with a larger experience of a higher mountain top, so we combined\u00a0the trip with a walk over a mountain ridge (Minute 0:30) towards the Reither Spitze<\/strong>, reachable via a high alpine trail (3:10). It’s part of the „Karwendel<\/strong>“ mountains, offering the most fascinating views of mountains primarily constructed out of lime! It’s so much rockwork everywhere (4:30)! As there is also a cableway leading up, this part is still heavily crowded.<\/p>\n It all changes when we walked down some steep trails to the other side of the Reither Spitze (5:30) towards a lodge (6:45) and into the area of the so-called „origin towers“. Nobody was taking that route and there was no civilization to be seen or heard anymore anywhere. Spooky! (8:00)<\/p>\n We were at\u00a0„Vomiting“ at minute 9:50. A trail into a surreal world of chalk massifs. Finally down again, we found an abandoned head of a valley (10:20) close to a small river that leads us back to the civilization. „Spitze“ means „peak“, but it also can mean „marvelous<\/strong>“ – and that is was it was!<\/p>\n
