Spring tour up the Jägerkamp

The sky looms dark when looking out from the Jägerkamp at Lake Spitzingsee, veiling the summit of the Guffert. In the lowlands, the colours of growth, fertility and abundance are already sprouting – the fresh, bright green of meadows and forests or the vibrant, glowing colours of spring flowers. In the mountains, where a greyed blanket of snow gives way only slowly to make room for life again, muted and earthy tones still dominate. Freed from the snow, the alpine meadows now wear a dirty, brown dress. Patches of remaining old snowfields cover the slopes, having lost their pure, radiant winter white. Black-brown avalanches of earth and stone, as well as dust transported by the rain, have covered the old snow with a grey veil (like the slogan in an old curtain advert – the one with the gold edge). The dark green triangles of the conifers point sharply towards the sky. In this way, the transition period into spring possesses its own unique charm.
