Hartkaiser- Eiberg and other mountains. Today was my day for a long run in the mountains - so it rained; as it can only rain in the mountains. Luckily the rain stopped in the afternoon so I took the chance to get up to the top of the hills and do a run round a few peaks then back into the valley. From the top of the Hartkaiser to the Eiberg and Jochstub'nsee is a pretty varied set of tracks and with the run back into the valley to finish the whole trip is about 18km (11.2 miles). In the end it was perfect weather for running , cool and cloudy, if not for taking pictures. That is the mountains for you, you never know what you will get from hour to hour. In the starting gate and 'raring to go' or maybe not lol  The views were still pretty good even if some of the cloud was below your feet.  The local tourist board (Turismusverband) has made an effort to amuse the - these are giant earphones to 'listen to the mountains'  The tracks are usually well marked and the terrain is interesting enough to keep you going when it gets a bit tough    Some of the chalets have been the same for many years - and they really are the prettiest places to get a drink of milk or beer on the trail.  Nearing the end - and a long way down in both height and energy reserves lol  Now wouldn't you like that view out of the back window? After all the exertion I reckon I earned a piece of cake. The pic shows the difference between Kuchen (Cakes) and Torten (Gayeaux or similar). The tall,creamy slice is a Torte , the shorter darker slice is a Kuche. The torte has lashings of creamy filling in a light cake sandwich but the kuchen has a drier cake base with fruit and a topfen (sort of curd filling) on top.  |

Hi Bond: Loved all the pics. What a beautiful place that is. Did you finish the whole 11 mile run?? I can't decide which cake I'd like best as they both look so good.
