Hohe Wand 4.3.2009
Today, the sunis shining, with 10 C. So I a drive to Dreistetten, where I start up a walk on Hohe Wand. First I walk to Herrgottschnitzerhaus, from there along the escarpments to Kohlroeserlhaus, back afterwards along the road.
Only small amounts of snow in Dreistetten, but shortly above a closed carpet of snow is beginning. View up to my goal, Hohe Wand.

Hazel catkins are braving this February´s cold temperature and start to blossom.
Shortly before the foot of the moutain.
Up now through the forest.
Here the steep path is leading into a bigger, but flat gravel road. A huge snow drift is blocking the way.
Further up through the snow covered forest.
A first glimpse to the cross near Herrgottschnitzerhaus.
Here you see the depth of the snow, despite several days of warmer temperatures.
The other nech is free, however.
More forest walking
