Rabenkopf (1555 m)

Monday, the 24.5.2021 was Whitsun Monday (Pfingstmontag), a public holiday in Bavaria. The weather forecast was poor and so I decided to do a wee mountain run from Jachenau, a village in the Bavarian Alps roughly 60 km from home. Lots of Alpine flowers. The most impressive is the Alpine Gentian. It stands out due to its deep blue colour.

Here some signs showing the way to the Rabenkopf (1555 m) one hill of many.

Here the summit cross. My preference is to leave no trace and to leave the hills as they are but in this area, each hill has a cross on top. In the distance is the "Alpenhauptkamm" still with tons of snow. 

A sign on the way down showing the way back to Jachenau.

In the forest, I was using a Lee big stopper filter for the first time. This filter extends exposure times and so the water turns into soft lines. I was pleased with the result. 

Even if the hill or walk is not special, the hills and mountains never really disappoint even if it is rainy and gray.
