Our first propper Drone

Christof Schoppa November 28, 2018

Ever since we've explored that there is aerial photography (I know it exists for quite a while) we've been intrigued by getting our own drone to take pictures from out of the air. But at that point they were big, and we didn’t feel like carrying a big additional bag all around with us. Plus, they are quite expensive and for as long we didn’t have the extra coin to splurge on one. Also, we used to have a drone but that one always crashed and fell of the sky just for no reasons. And so we forgot/displaced the idea of a drone for some time.

Now we finally have one and here are the first pictures we took with it.

Hiking Taubensee between Germany & Austria

Christof Schoppa August 8, 2018

Taubensee is a small lake right at the border between Germany (Chiemgau Alps) and Austria (Kitzbühel Alps). It is one of the highest lakes in Germany with 1.138 meters above sea level.

You can hike there from both countries. We started our 2 hour hike on a cloudy rainy day in Kössen which is on the Austrian side and here are some pictures from the hike...

Hiking Hochstaufen in Chiemgau Bavaria

Christof Schoppa July 1, 2018

A lot of things happend lately so we've decided to head for a night out in the mountains of Bavaria to get the head clear and make some great memories along the way. With a good friend we've started our hiking trip close to Inzell at a hikers parking place in Adlgaß.

Our aim was to reach the top of the Hochstaufen. It is the easternmost mountain of the Chiemgau Alps.

The peak of the mountain is at 1771 m and the altitude of the hike is 950m with a distance of 6.9 km.

It took us more than 4 hours to reach the top and it was totally worth it. The sunset has been incredible just like the sunrise the next morning. To find the way up there is pretty simple tbh, just follow the signs along the way.

Here are some pictures from the sunrise and the hike back down the mountain...

Kehlstein

Last week we've been up at the Kehlsteinhaus in Berchtesgaden known as the Eagle's Nest and roamed around the hills exploring the surroundings. The Kehlsteinhaus sits on a ridge atop the Kehlstein, a 1,834 m peak.

Eibsee & Zugspitze

Christof Schoppa April 18, 2018

This one March morning we decided to wake up early for sunrise at Eibsee. The alarm was set for three o'clock and of we went for some canadian vibes beneath Germany's highest mountain, on which we - hard to believe - never been before.
