A Hike with Ice and Snow
In fall 2011, we didn’t get snow for a long time. This means, we had some great hiking weather in November. On one November weekend, I decided to walk up to some lakes on 2450 msl. The ground was frozen, the streams coming from the springs where frozen. This made for a different experience then when I previously did this hike in summer, where one had to walk over marsh and be cautious not to get wet feet.
Thanks to the late time in the year, I was completely alone. No other hikers could be seen, and the cows have left long before.
When I reached the small lakes, there was some snow. And it was quite cold up there, I had to put my gloves and my cap on. What I knew from summer was that there is always a wind up there, and it was also like that in November.
The lakes started to freeze over.
This hike stayed very positively in my memories, I still remember it fondly. And I hoped that I could do another hike like that last fall, but the weather unfortunaely never matched my free time, and at the end of November the skiing season started.
Schöne Bilder!

It’s not random… it was very purposely brought up to 2000msl….. to water the cows, which live up there in summer.
