May 8, 2026,Grünstein für Bergfexe

A Fex is someone who is very enthusiastic about something - according to Wiki. We both love the mountains and since the trip to Wallis also via ferratas. Although I have been going to the Berchtesgaden region for many years, I haven't managed to do the Grünstein via ferrata yet. This was to be made up for together now.

On the last day, a slightly shorter tour. We climbed a via ferrata on the Grünstein.
Afterwards, a pleasant refreshing dip in the Königsee.
Thanks for these four days.
It was amazing 🧗‍♂️🤗
