Today, I decided to offer myself a present of what I feel I have to little at the moment: Time for myself, thoughts and beautiful nature. Therefor, I packed my stuff in a rucksack, put it on a sledge and drove with it in a preserve area. Took a rather easy tour up to the Rotwand in the Mangfall Hills.
It was rather warm, but the snow was still drivable, thanks to the fast sledge track and the wood, that kept the snow cold.
I was geocaching with the help of my mobile GPS. The cache itself was hidden in the Rotwand itself, visible on the right picture (now you know, why it’s called that way, don’t you?), a little more to the right. It was close to the goal when I realized, relaxing below one of these rocks, I wouldn’t be able to catch the cache without better equipment – that is, any equipment at all (besides a sledge). The track was to steep and cliffy, the snow to deep and fragile and there was a small storm coming up. It was funny anyway and when it’s summer, I will make good for the log entry.
Once reaching the Rotwandhaus, you’re presented with a great panorama over the Alps.
Chilling between hot sun and cold winds at the destination. On the right: My view while eating some lunch.
Would still prefer Geiglstein over Rotwand for the moment, but the sledge track afterwards was big fun and easier to ride then the last one. And last not least, some video impressions:

Ui, fast ein Zweitausender. Auch so was muß man mal bestiegen haben.
Hehe, ich war letzte Woche direkt daneben am Spitzingsee. Und ja, es tut hin und wieder mal richtig gut die Seele baumeln zu lassen und so zu rodeln, dass man die nächsten Tage nicht mehr richtig sitzen kann… 🙂
Am Spitzingsee war ich am Abend auch noch kurz, bin ja von der Kirche aus auf die Rotwand marschiert. Tat gut, hat Spaß gemacht. Freu mich schon auf die nächste Tour. 🙂
