Autumn - an ideal time for hiking.

The air clear, the sky a deeper blue.

The view from the mountain tops almost infinite.

The days still warm, but the cool evenings are a first hint of the winter to come. 

Now, in autumn, the weather is settled and periods of good weather are lasting longer than in summer. Now that the thunderstorms of summer have subsided, unpredictable weather is no longer a menace to the mountaineers. But you have to get up pretty early for hiking tours, since the days are shorter.

Autumn - harvest-time, thanksgiving.

The meadows in the Alps lie calmly in the mild light of the autumn sun. The cattle were driven from the summer pastures down into the valleys.

One of the main events of the year in the Allgau region is the traditional cattle drive, the so-called "Almabtrieb" - spectacular for Bavarian locals as well as for the many guests.

The lakes around Fussen are perfect mirrors for the high mountain peaks.

In the evening delicious chestnuts are roasting in the pan and the new Allgau cheese is particularly tasty now.

Autumn - indian summer, gossamer.

 
Brittsommar in Sweden, indian summer in North America, here we call this season "Altweibersommer".

The expression "Altweibersommer" comes from gossamer, the subtle threads along which spiders let themselves carry through the air. Wet with tiny drops of autumn fog, the spider web is reminiscent of the white hair of an old woman.

The magnificient colours of the autumn leaves are a feast for the eyes.

... and then, in the evening of such a wonderful day in autumn, when you come back home to your apartment from an impressive excursion, just lean back comfortably, put up your legs, relax beside the flames of a quivering chimney fire ... can life be any better?
