Spieser 1651m, Germany 28/6 2018 




 Spieser isn't a high mountain. It's on the German side just  outside Tannheimer Tal, close to the alpine border. But it's
 a beatiful area and we choose it to avoid incoming rain
 early in the day.
We park the car in Oberjoch (1140m) at 7 in the morning. Sören sets up a good pace towards the forest. A view to the south as we rapidly gain altitude. We walk fast to do as much as we can, before the rain comes.



 It doesn't take long, before we can see the cross of  Jochschrofen above.  At Jochschrofen (about 1560m) after just 50min. We don't stay here for long, but press on towards Spieser (left) och Hirschberg (right).



 The reason for our hurry can be seen here. Just across the  valley we can see low clouds and rain over  Sorgschrofen/Zinken. But now it's not far to Spieser, the summit cross is up there. Jochschrofen is behind us now. There's a descent of 50 altitude meters before the climb to Spieser. It's easy walking all the way.



 At the summit of Spieser after 1h 10min. Normal time
 should be more than that.
Down there! On our way down we pass the hut Hirschalpe at 1493m. We are able to take a diffent route back so it's a round trip, always an extra plus.



 Beautiful views down to Bad Hindelang as we take the trail  "Panoramaweg"  back to Oberjoch. Just as we get back to
 the car the rain begins. Perfect taiming, getting a good day
 in the mountains by starting early!
