February means winter, and this also meant it was going to be a trip to the snows. Already in Garmisch-Partenkirchen there was half a meter of snow, and as we gradually ascended, so did the amount of snow. The first part of the trail to Esterbergalm was quite easy to find, as the road here was cleared of snow, but right on the other side we continued into the deep snow. Certainly there were markers in some places, but otherwise there was not much indication of, where to go. Luckily Christoph knew the locality, so we had no problems in finding our way up through the forest. |
