The Peak / Der Gipfel

avatar

Each step gets you closer to the summit cross.

Jeder Schritt bringt dich näher an das Gipfelkreuz.

Hochstadel: Summit Cross / Gipfelkreuz
2.681 m / 8,796 feet

About three weeks ago I hiked to the Summit of the Hochstadel early in the morning. After some photos of the beautiful sunrise, which I have posted in the past days, and of which more will follow, today I would like to show pictures of the Summit Cross, which I have photographed in several places along the way.

Vor ungefähr zwei Wochen bin ich frühmorgens auf den Gipfel des Hochstadel gewandert. Nach einigen Fotos vom wunderschönen Sonnenaufgang, die ich in den vergangenen Tagen gepostet habe, und von denen noch weitere folgen werden, möchte ich heute Bilder vom Gipfelkreuz, welches ich an mehreren Stellen entlang des Weges fotografiert habe, zeigen.

Actually, the summit looks quite close when photographed with the telephoto lens. The normal walking time is with about 3 1/2 hours. I reached the peak a bit earlier 😉

Eigentlich schaut der Gipfel recht nahe aus, wenn man ihn mit dem Teleobjektiv fotografiert. Die normale Gehzeit ist mit ca 3 1/2 Stunden angeschrieben - ich war ein bisschen früher oben 😉

After about two thirds of the way you come to a small meadow, from which you can already see the summit cross.

Nach etwa zwei Drittel des Weges kommt man auf eine kleine Wiese, von welcher man bereits das Gipfelkreuz erkennen kann.

The closer you get, the closer the summit seems to be, but in the mountains the view can sometimes fool you.

Je näher man kommt, desto näher scheint auch der Gipfel zu kommen, aber in den Bergen kann der Blick manchmal auch täuschen.

After about another hour, the summit cross is already within reach ...

Nach einer guten weiteren Stunde ist das Gipfelkreuz bereits zum Greifen nahe ...

... and eventually you finally reach your destination - you are on the summit.

... und schließlich kommt man dann auch irgendwann mal an das Ziel - der Gipfel ist erreicht.

Finally, one more photo of the summit cross in the backlight of the just risen sun.

Zum Schluss noch einmal ein Foto des Gipfelkreuzes im Gegenlicht der gerade aufgegangenen Sonne.


❖ click the image for fullsize view ❖

The text on the cross reads: Den Gefallenen 1914/18 - 1939/45 - the summit cross is dedicated to the fallen of the two world wars.

Der Text auf dem Kreuz lautet: Den Gefallenen 1914/18 - 1939/45 - das Gipfelkreuz ist den Gefallenen der zwei Weltkriege gewidmet.

Except for the two shots backlit by the morning sun, which I photographed first, the photos were taken in reverse order on the way down from the summit into the valley, because it was still pitch dark during the hike up to the summit.

Bis auf die beiden Gegenlichtaufnahmen, welche ich zuerst fotografiert habe, sind die Fotos in umgekehrter Reihenfolge auf dem Weg vom Gipfel hinunter ins Tal entstanden, weil es bei der Wanderung auf den Gipfel noch stockdunkel gewesen ist.

That's a coincidence - I have had to take a look at your post first. Cute cat and there's certainly a good story behind.
I hope, it does not mean anything 😉

Great to see the Cross and the idea of the trek to get there with it in the distance, and I do remember from my Hikes up Mountains the distance can be so deceiving, can almost one !DERANGED when you read a peak when you think your at the peak and see its just one littlle peak with a long way to go

Thanks for sharing this with us, here have a !BEER

Yes, you see the cross so close, but after the next hill it goes way down and up again - never believe the distances you see in the mountains ;) lol
... but it's such a good feeling when you finally reach the peak and touch the cross to say "hello" 🙂

Thank you so much JJ, I wish you a great day with not too !DERANGED weather 🙂

I'm glad for you that your day is fine. Mine was so very busy, that I even couldn't Steem at work 😭

It is still gray and raining outside and I don't even want to go outside. So, I am editing some sunrise shots from a hike 2 weeks ago and write a few !DERANGED words. Maybe the photos will be a little overdone, because it's such a depressing weather outside and I need to compensate that ;)

OK, let's share a !BEER 👍🙂

No time for a !BEER ? That's even !DERANGED worse than to have no time for Steeming ;) lol

The good thing is, that when there's a lot of work the day goes so much faster, but yesterday I wanted to prepare some posts in advance - at least one for tonight, because I won't be home in the afternoon and will probably come home late. Hopefully today there's not much work at work ;) lol

Thanks for the !BEER - this was another !DERANGED busy day and I'm glad it is over in about an hour. Then I'll be home for a short while and out again, but only for a dinner with my wife and some colleagues.
In the time when I'm at home today I'll prepare my tonights post, which is already in my head - just a few more photos as a continuation of yesterdays post.

Mit dem Kreuz habe ich aber auch kein Problem, wohl aber mit dem, was es symbolisieren soll, aber das ist ein Thema, über welches ich nicht gerne spreche, und schon gar nicht auf einer nichtvergessenden Blockchain ;)

Oh ich finde gerade auf dieser Blockchain sollte man darüber schreiben, damit es der Nachwelt, sofern sie es wirklich lesen kann, erhalten bleibt und sie nicht die gleichen Fehler machen wie wir sie gemacht haben.

Aber anyway, es bleibt so oder so erhalten. Schon alleine die Gedanken von uns werden Gespeichert. Nicht von diesem schrecklichen System in dem wir im Moment noch leben müssen, sonder vom großen Ganzen unserem Ursprung aus dem wir alle kommen.

In der Tat ist mir das Kreuz als solches auch egal, nur mit dem es in Verbindung gebracht wird, das verurteile ich zutiefst, denn es ist verlogen, heuchlerisch und genau das Gegenteil von dem was es vorgibt zu sein.

"Normal" wäre, so wie alle hier in Klagenfurt, also in der "Großstadt" reden: Dialekt, aber leicht verständlich. Wenn ich meinen Oberkärntner Dialekt spreche und ein bisschen Osttirolerisch hineinmische, dann wird es schon schwieriger. Ich bin aber auch schon sehr lange weg von dort oben, dass ich mir wahrscheinlich auch schwer tun würde, alle Worte zu finden ;) lol

Meenzerisch und andere Deutsche Dialekte kennen wir von den Karnevalsübertragungen im Fernsehen, die wir als Kinder sehen "durften" ;)

I read somewhere that drinking one beer a day was very healthy. Have you heard that?

I have read the same with wine - a glass of wine a day should be healthy. I don't know, if a glass of !BEER or wine a day is healthy, but I do know, that drinking only one glass does not hurt ;) lol

Yes, if you could contain yourself to one per day it would probably be a smart thing to do. But that is a big "if!"

I tried it once a while ago, but one glass is as much as nothing, so I stopped drinking !BEER at all ;)

Well then that would be perfect. You could just drink one beer a day for your health!

I know, that if I would drink one !BEER I would like to drink more and that's something I don't want anymore.
That's just something I did in the past and maybe never do anymore.

Oh so it is a matter of self-control. So you are saying that you are a control freak and don't like losing control when you drink. right? lol.

When I was drinking too much or if I had whisky or other hard drinks I have lost control sometimes, but usually I just drank and got drunk ;) lol
No, that I don't drink is not self control, it is just as it is. I said I try no stay "clean" for a while and it works. I just don't want anymore and don't have to control myself somehow :)


And hey, I have my virtual !BEER 😉

But if you can't stop with one beer isn't that a control issue? Howdy sir johannpiber, I'm on comments now, usually at this time I'm working on a post!

I don't know if I can't stop if I drink one !BEER but I don't want to try it, because I just don't want to drink - that's all ;)
Smoking is different, because I know if I smoke one cigarette I will certainly want more.

I wanted to go for a morning walk, but today we have had the first frost on the first of December, and it's toooooo cold ...
I'll go later ;)

Ok, I finally understand I think..about the beer drinking...after 15 comments and explanations. lol. I think you should get out there in the cold and start getting used to it because it will be a long winter!

I also thought I was tougher, but the cold and frosty morning has somehow surprised me yesterday. When I looked out of the window I saw beautiful pink clouds and thought of a wonderful sunrise, but then I felt the !DERANGED coldness and went back into the warmth 😉

You are right @janton, my Missus does not deserve me ... better said, I do not deserve her, and she deserves someone better ;) lol
But if the Steem price rises to the moon I will have enough money to pay for any hard worker she might want ;)

Well, I think you guys are probably a great match.

Hey, do you have a set price in mind for steem which will trigger a buy response from you and you will buy more? Like 5 or 10 cents?

Yes, I think you are right - we two match quite well together 🙂
No, I have no price in mind, but 10 cents sounds nice, and 5 would be super, if the price would go back up after I have bought ;) lol

That analyst thought it could go to zero and then go back up in a slow bull market to reach really good prices. That would be something to buy it at 2 or 3 cents!

Yes, I think I would buy quite an amount of Steem then ... and hope it will really go up again.

Let me calculate ... if the Steem price is zero, how many Steem can we get for $ 100? 😉 lol

ha! my comment there cut off for some reason, I typed that I think you would buy 5 times that $100 amount but it didn't show up that way. Anyway, it's hard to believe some one so tough would cry over such a small thing. lol.

It depends on the Steem price - if it goes to $ 100 or 1,000 - I would definitely cry 😢 ... you wouldn't, would you?

I would not cry, I would just be depressed for a few years! lol. yeah, that would be bad.

You would be very depressed and need a therapist which is so expensive that you would have to pay him all your Steem just to feel good again 😢
So, buy as much Steem as you can and if you then are a whale give me some 100% upvotes that I don't need to buy Steem myself ;) lol

That would be great to be a whale and have upvotes worth $10 or $20 or more, wow that would be fun!
As far as depression, it would be as depressing as spending a long, snowy winter in Austria! lol.

If there's still Winter when it should be Spring, than it's too long, but until the end of February it would be nice to have some snow around.

The times have changed in the past 20 or 30 years, or maybe this is quite normal, I dont know.
We have had snowfall in April and even in May, but when I was young in the beginning of March all the snow was gone.

I think the changing cycles are normal but guess what I just realized? It is Friday and this is another week which you will not have to work ever again and that puts you one week closer to retirement!(if steemit doesn't sky-rocket in price).

What are the big plans for this weekend?

The time runs so fast - this morning I realized that it's Friday again - the good thing about much work at work is that the time runs !DERANGED faster than I can think ;) lol
One week closer to retirement, but I do hope for the Steem price too ;)

I haven't made any plans, because I had so much to do this week. Maybe I'll think of it when I'm in bed in a few hours, but I'd like to see a sunrise once again 🙂

No, she has made no plans neither - maybe some shopping, but before Christmas every shop is full of people. If she wants to go she will have to do it without me, because I hate full shops.

Well they have those big sales going on too so that helps bring in the crazy people and turns them into a deranged mob. Do you guys celebrate Christmas with gifts? I think it's a huge hassle.

Yes, you are right, and I avoid buying things in this time, if I don't need to, because when I have time to search for cheaper prices during the year I am sure to find !DERANGED better deals most times.

The children get small presents or money, which they prefer anyway, but my Missus and I, we don't give ourselves. Adults don't get gifts from me and I do not want to get gifts at Christmas ;)

Yes, sending money is the best in my opinion, because then they can buy what they want, just as my kids ... or they can save it, just as my kids don't do ;)

Ha! just as they don't do! Yes, but I bet you encourage them to save. I like the rule of giving yourself 10% to save out of everything you earn. I just wish I would have done that myself!

Good morning @janton 🙂
I do know this rule too, but unfortunately I have also never done that - I have sometimes spent even 10% more than I have earned ;) lol

On such high mountain peaks you hav ea wonderful view to far away montains. When the weather is very good you might even see the sea, which is very far away, but I haven't ever seen it though.
You see ghost faces in the rocks? Cool, I haven't met any ghosts up there, only me ;)


I might be a bit !DERANGED but not only I have a !BEER for you today, but also a !COFFEEA which I have bought at the !MARLIANS !shop 😉
