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. |

BEER.Hey @artmentor, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @johannpiber for you. Enjoy it!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
!trdo
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 🙂
!BEER
Ohh so true I remember that satisfaction when you finally make the peak in a !DERANGED you almost feel like you have scaled Mount Everest lol
!BEER
Especially when you don't know the mountain and have no idea how far or steep it is to the peak, the feeling is great when you reach the top 👍🙂
!DERANGED
!BEER
Exactly
You now what was !DERANGED whenI got to the office and came on here i had 60 comments to reply to, I went through and removed the ones from deranged coin which I dont reply to and it cut it down to 35 Comments LOL
!BEER
Same here - the bot didn't work and then suddenly sent all !DERANGED at once. I think he was out for a !BEER 🙂
You could be right but we may well may be driving the !DERANGED bot to !BEER

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 😉

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 😉

BEER.Hey @uruguru, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @johannpiber for you. Enjoy it!... und ich habe überhaupt kein Problem damit - nicht mit dir und deiner Meinung - deswegen sagte ich ja auch, von mir aus könnte es auch ein Halbmond oder Buddha sein 😉
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 ;)
Liebe Grüße 🙂
!BEER
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.
Liebe Grüße
Peter

Very interesting sir johannpiber! I like that cross, how big is it? 3.5 hours is a heck of a hike!
I needed 2.5 hours only, because I am a mountain goat, as you know ;) lol
The cross must be about 4-5 meters high what must be about 13-17 feet.
!BEER
oh, I understand that they 3.5 hour time is only for regular humans and that would be far below your level of hiking. Is that cross lit up at night?
I don't know how they measure the hiking times, but I think it is as you say.
No, the cross it not lit at night. Almost every mountain peak has a cross - it would look quite funny, if they all were lit up at night 😉
!BEER
Oh! they all have crosses. I like that. That is another thing to like about your country!
Yes, almost all have a cross on top, because you might need to know that you are on the peak ;) lol
!BEER
Wouldn't that be obvious? I guess it is good to be sure though after all that work!
