Dawn over the Karwendel

The last stars still outshine the slowly brightening morning sky over the Karwendel. As the Earth rotates towards the sun, the sky cycles through the entire colour spectrum until the first direct sunbeams spread a comforting warmth on this frosty November morning. This time, I’m enjoying the ever-impressive experience of a quiet and peaceful sunrise on the summit of Roßstein (1,697 m) in the Bavarian Alps.

I didn’t even have to climb the mountain in the dark of night, as the Tegernsee Hut is located just a few minutes below the summit, where I spent a sociable evening with lovely people and a restful night. Yesterday, I already experienced a breathtaking sunset from the summit of Roßstein and I’m looking forward to another sunny day of hiking.
