On the Still Snow-Covered Heimgarten in Spring Sunshine

The peaks of the Bavarian foothills are still covered in old snow, while the south-facing slopes are often already clear. As the path from Lake Walchensee to Heimgarten is well-trodden, snowshoes aren’t needed today. Ski tourers are coming up from Ohlstadt, and the ridge hike to Herzogstand gleams invitingly in the sun like a white ribbon.
