From the Hinterbrand car park to the middle station on the Jenner and then on to the Priesbergalm. On the way there you could hear cuckoo calls and the whistles of marmots. Yellow and purple flowers lined the path. Blue skies, sunshine and a wonderful cloud atmosphere delighted the hearts of hikers and photographers, and even the peaceful highwaymen🐮 couldn't …

So today a nice hike in the snow to the Priesbergalm with Gitti and Flo. Warm weather 🥵 on the climb. Unfortunately, the Priesbergalm with a beautiful view of the Watzmann was occupied, so we had to go to another small hut. …

Fog in the valley, sun on the mountain, that's what I thought and soon started from Hinterbrand up to the Priesbergalm. Walking time 1 3/4 hours. Accompanied by great views of the sea of fog and mountains in the sun, blue sky, bright yellow larches and, in shady places, even with a little snow. The ascent was well worth it, …

The tour to the Priesberalmen from the Hinterbrand car park is recommended at any time of the year. While the autumn color change is already more advanced in the valley, some of the alpine pastures are still surprised by lush greenery and many flowers.

Accompanied by the chirping of birds and a few flowers that already dared to appear, by the sun and a great foehn cloud atmosphere in the sky, we headed towards the Priesbergalm. There was almost no snow, only sparsely on the artificial snow slope and then shortly before the planned destination in the form of a totally icy path, which …
