You have seen 2 previous posts from the German Alps with a lot of photos but these photos are all captured between the mountains. This time I'm going up the Wallberg mountain in southern Germany. Of course, this was also my plan, others had never come up with this idea. When we were there the day before, I thought that I really want to get up the mountain there because there is a cable car that takes us almost to the top. Sadly, this closes at 5 pm and there was no time for us to go anymore that evening.
The next, 2 of us drove back to the Tegernsee town from the Munich to get up this mountain now. Cable car costs 20 EUR to get up and back down. Drive up took around 10 minutes, pretty fast actually I could say when considered that the mountain is 1700 meters high. Already during the drive up, some amazing views appeared.
Cable car pretty much takes you straight to the restaurant on the mountain. There is also a small church there. For some reason, I don't have a photo of this church. I know I post processed one but I can't find it now.
Since this wasn't the highest point of the mountain we had to start hiking towards there. It wasn't far but the terrain up there was a little rough at times, I think it took us another 30 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. To be more exact, the highest point of the mountain was 1722 meters high.
I really like the photo below. This shows you many different layers of mountains in terms of distance.
Mountain cows
Next two photos show you the rough terrain we had to hike up to. It wasn't that hard but I certainly don't recommend to take this hike if you are not up to this.
View down to the lake and the towns was really special. This lake was huge when sailing on it but it looks much smaller when seen from this high. The weather up there was clear and beautiful so no low clouds were interfering with our view. It was a little bit chillier there than at the ground level but we are talking about maybe only a couple of degrees difference.
I have never been to the Alps before and I certainly want to go to the Austrian mountains sometime in the future.
Whoa, some of these photos (the more foresty ones) just shout "COME LIVE IN ME" to me. Ahhh, imagine a cozy cabin in the middle of a forest like that... and a small-small river flowing very close. 😍

Oh yes sometimes imagineing isolated life in some forest seems quite an appealing idea but in the other hand it would be too much work for me :D. This forest on the photo looks looks nice yep!

@greddyforce Wonderful forest village of the mountains. It is a blessing to be able to visit it and enjoy its enchanting view and landscapes. Being quiet in the must be very cozy. You managed to capture in your take all the details. Excellent photos. At the top of the mountain the view of the lake is spectacular. I love cows eating and lying very relaxed and fully happy with a pleasant climate. Thank you for allowing us through your publication and your wonderful photos to get to know this beautiful place. A big greeting.

These views are just stunning and magical. Hiking up that mountain will be really fun and thrilling adventure. The plants there are so green and vibrant, it must have been refreshing being surrounded by such natural and spectacular views.

Really, i am speechless. This is so beautiful, you managed to capture the beauty and also the sense of peace. I can imagine sitting right there with the sun in my face looking down at that so beautiful view with the sound of the cows mooing in the background. Nature is beautiful.
Excellent photography skills. I am definitely keeping all these pictures...that is if you don't mind. Good job here @greddyforce.

In the 8th picture from the end it looks like a very difficult place to hike. Did you have any mountaineering equipment with you?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

No I didnt. This route does not require any equipment.
Although this wasnt easy as well, if you dont want to hike or you have health issues, dont go there.

Whoah! Those views are really amazing and breathtaking. It looks like you really had a great adventure.
Those mountain cows, are they wild? I mean nobody owns them and just wandering out there? Did you camp on top of the mountain?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes its amazing there!Nah they are not wild, some farmer owns them. It was a one day hike up to this mountain so no I didnt camp there.

The farmers must have a very wide property to have the cows roam in the mountain like that. Or, do they just let loose of the cows to the mountains?
Did you also have to take the cable car in descending? Or is there an easy way going back?

I dont know exactly about the prpperty of theirs but it looked like they had fences around them.Yes we tooknthe cable car down as well. This mountain is too steep to walk down :D

What a beautiful spot and you have excellent photos of it. I too like the mountains off in the distance. But I like your black and white with the paraglider the best. That has wonderful contrast and composition. And the last shot with the yellowish grass is spectacular.
I would certainly be turning an ankle if I tried to do your hike. Those rocks look very unforgiving.

Thank you. I didnt find a suitable color composition for this paraglider photo so the enly choice was to make it black and white :D
Terrain was rough yeah. If you fall and start rolling downwards...well thats perry much certain death. Gotta be careful there.

Oh I see.
Got to go there to know more. I guess mostly churches are built by missionaries especially those remote places in a far far away from inhabitants. Mostly, monasteries are built on those places because silence is crucial on their faith.
Anyways, thanks for spending your precious time talking to me Franz. I appreciate it very much!

Amazing terrain and it just begs to be hiked. Heck, I wouldn't mind getting lost in those lands for a while if it meant more time communing with Mother Nature. I just don't get to see those sightings where I'm from and that place is magic. When you mentioned the word Alps, I immediately thought of those popular photos readily present on Google search engines, these photos are just as competitive as the ones frequently advertised about the place :D
