Could have placed this on Wednesday as well 😍

This 100+ meter waterfall in the Gältebach comes down from the flanks of the Wildhorn.

As one of my friends said: here they could shoot a scene from the Mandalorian.

The image depicts a stunning mountainous landscape with a prominent peak in the center, characterized by sharp, jagged rock formations and steep slopes. The mountains are covered with patches of green vegetation, indicating a mix of rocky and vegetated terrain. A serene, dark blue lake is nestled in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery, adding a contrasting element to the rugged mountains. The background features a clear blue sky and a body of water, possibly an ocean or a fjord, which extends to the horizon. The sunlight casts shadows on the mountains, highlighting their texture and depth. The overall scene is a picturesque representation of a natural, untouched environment, showcasing the beauty of the landscape.

The image depicts a breathtaking mountainous landscape with a large lake nestled between steep, rugged cliffs. In the foreground, a rocky outcrop covered in green moss and grass is visible, with the edge of the cliff sharply defined. The middle ground features a serene lake with several small islands, reflecting the surrounding greenery and mountains. The background showcases towering mountains with sharp peaks, partially shrouded in mist, creating a sense of depth and grandeur. The sky is bright and clear, with a few wispy clouds, suggesting a sunny day. The overall color palette includes various shades of green from the vegetation, deep blues from the water, and grays and browns from the rocky terrain, contributing to the natural beauty of the scene.

Small evening hike.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a calm lake surrounded by lush green mountains. The water is remarkably still, creating a perfect mirror image of the surrounding scenery, including the mountains and the sky. The mountains are steep and rugged, with patches of greenery and exposed rock, indicating a natural, untouched environment. The vegetation on the mountains is dense, with trees and shrubs covering the slopes. The sky is partly cloudy, with soft, diffused light suggesting either early morning or late afternoon. In the foreground, there is a small patch of grass and a few young plants, with a narrow path leading towards the water's edge. The overall color palette is dominated by greens, blues, and earthy tones, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene.

Because of the weather situation in the Alps, we were not able to a dayhike on day four of the course.

During the morning we had theory blocks on climate change and what is meant on the mountains (changing in avalanche dangers, change on flora and fauna, change in weather extremes, change in snow elevations, etc).

In the afternoon we were lucky that we had a weather window and did an Orienteering test around the village (compass, map).

In the evening we had some time to learn for the tests of tomorrow. Fingers crossed y'all!

Day five and the last day of the course. This means: decision day! In the morning we hiked a sharp T4 ridge and of course all participants took the lead for a section of the hike.

Half way we had a small practical and theoretical exam, which will be a part of the final assessment.

In the afternoon everyone will have a final talk with the course leader where we get feedback and hear the final verdict.

Now that I'm back from vacation and people who saw my status images say "how did you carry your equipment up the hills!? " - No need to do that.
I have a complete Sony DSLR equipment, used it 20 years, but do not need it anymore, all shots are taken with a mid class xiaomi mobile phone.🤷‍♂️

But learning to take pictures with manual settings for so many years was the best training for me and my sense of perspective. Let's reduce now, I'm ready.

The image depicts a breathtaking mountainous landscape under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. In the foreground, a person is sitting on a rocky outcrop, providing a sense of scale to the vastness of the scene. The mountains are covered in lush green vegetation, with steep, rugged slopes and sharp peaks. A winding river or fjord cuts through the valley, reflecting the sunlight and adding a serene element to the rugged terrain. The sunlight casts shadows on the mountains, highlighting their texture and depth. The overall scene conveys a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, with the person appearing small against the grandeur of the landscape.

After an extra long day yesterday, I finished work early today. And I went "hiking". In quotation marks because it was a very slow and relaxed affair, stopping often to smell the air and watch the bugs and hug the trees.

The tour that we had to plan for day three of the course was long, probably too long (for the predicted weather). This was (as sort of expected) to simulate the need for a change of the planned tour to one of the planned variants (which we always need to have).

During role playing everyone had to play a different character (person pushing for the original route, one that suggested a split of the group, a complete break-off of the tour, etc). The acting tour leader had to decide based on the various inputs (people, weather, terrain) what to do.

During the way down we had a simulate first aid situation that had to be taken care of.

All this where more and more the tour leader has to take his responsibility as if the course leader was not there. All in all a very educational day.
