The hike:

October 28, 2022,Sonnenspitz von Kochel

(Very) steep ascent and descent. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required. There were several people at the summit, otherwise we were alone, there was definitely a reason for that.

We took advantage of the beautiful day and headed up to the Sonnenspitze at lunchtime. It's a beautiful path from Lake Kochel and a great way to do it all. The trail isn't boring at all; you should be sure-footed and free from vertigo. From the top, you have a fantastic view of Lake Kochel. And there's the smallest summit …

Steep climb through the forest to Sonnenspitz for a view over Kochelsee. The path back down was sometimes quite narrow. Mostly shady.

January 7, 2023,Wanderung auf den Sonnenspitz

Today we went hiking again for a long time! It was actually supposed to be a ski weekend, but with these spring-like temperatures there was nothing with snow 🤷‍♀️ the hike to the Sonnenspitz was just fantastic! Great views of the Kochelsee, beautiful light and good company for nice conversations 😊
