| EastKing | Finally | |
Hasn't voted | I was on this mountain via Cable Car from Mittenwald when I was 8 years old with my family (July 1985). It is the only mountain in Europe I have been on the summit of. I have been look for years about information on this mountain and region. Does the Mittenwald Cable Car still run up this mountain!!!! I never forgot that view . As always an amazing job. Your works have always set the standard for all of us to follow. | |

Hasn't voted | Does the cable car still run up there? Not sure myself since I have been there from the Achensee side only. But Gumpie wrote a TR last night in which he said something about going by the cable car. Not sure when he went there though. Thanks | |

Voted 10/10 | Gangolf, somehow Karwendel is very close to my heart, even if I had never been on its summits. Perhaps because of Buhl's book, similarity to Julian Alps or whatever. I went through your page quickly and missed mentioning both Ahornbodens. From pictures I saw, they must be great places. Regardin name... I don't know. I thought the word kar means in German something. I associate it with the valley, filled with stones and gravel. I also heard the possibility that the word Karavanke, Karawanken, comes from an old Celtic word for Kara=black and Wanken=meadows. Strange to me, anyway. But the name of mountains in the middle of Tirol probably does not have a Slavic origin. Cheers! | |

Hasn't voted | For the names we might ask Sherlock Mauguier - the family names I mentioned must come from somewhere too. Kar means cirque - and yes there are a great many. But what struck me most about the names was that many summits are called "Joch" which usually stands for the passes. Ahornboden - hmm - I've never been there. Moreover I'm not too fond of the valleys - I only go there when it's raining. Which again explains why I don't like the valleys too much. Next act are the Lechtal Alps - and then I'll take some time off for the maps... | |

Voted 10/10 | I just checked out a book by Heinz Zak on the Karwendel mountains, and he has some beautiful pictures. Thanks for the page, I'll be clutching it's printout on explorations for years to come! | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks a lot! Yes, Heinz Zak is one hell of a photographer. I enjoyed his work covering the Hubers' free Salathé on El Capitan. Far better suited than my page to clutch to is the Alpenvereinsführer which you find in the Maps & Books section. It's not exactly cheap though - 22€ at last count. | |
