Hiking in Jenesien

Following path # 5 you'll find Jenesier Joechl, a pasture at 1660 m asl. Here restaurant service is provided.

Jenesien - Spring Crocus

Snow is melting on the higher meadows (about 1800 m asl). Almost immediately Crocus are sprouting.

Rodenecker Alm

Old hut.

Still snow higher up, so these pastures, ranging from 1600 to 2100 m above sea level, are entirely covered with it.

View toward north-east.

Bolzano - More Flowers

Magnolia seen through the window.

Since too many flowers make me suffer (allergy), let's enjoy also some indoor flowers (ie paintings).

Snowy Eastern

Near Karer Pass, about 1700 m asl

Bolzano - Spring!

Flowers in the wood - heather are about 4 weeks late this year
