Fotoeins Friday: Am Quicken im Schnee (Mittenwald)
The town of Klais has over one thousand years of history. That’s not obvious looking out from the train passing through between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald. But within easy reach on foot are the ruins of the Scharnitz monastery, the remnant of a Roman road, and open fields with views like the one above to Wettersteinspitzen.
(The approach on foot in winter is possible on groomed paths from Mittenwald or from Klais itself.)
I made the picture above on 1 March 2017 with the Canon 6D, 24-105 glass, and the following settings: 1/800-sec, f/20, ISO1000, 47mm focal length. This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins.com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-aMa.

What a small world! Back and forth on trains between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald, I saw some cross-country skiers and tracks in and around Klais. I also thought about what some of these trails and vistas might be like under greener days of summer.

In summer it’s a very beautiful walk, afterwards swimming in one the wonderful little lakes.

Hi, Cornelia. I’m back in the GaPa-Klais-Mittenwald area for a couple of days in May 😊 Would you happen to have specific walk/hike recommendations?
