"Explore by Light" with The North Face

An Amazing three-day hike around Lake Königssee in Berchtesgaden

I recently had the opportunity to organize a three-day adventure with The North Face for my followers and readers as part of the “New Explorer” campaign. Five fellow explorers and me ventured into the wildest part of the German Alps, on the hunt for beautiful views, unique landscapes and the best light to capture our experience. We had the greatest time roaming the wild backcountry in perfect fall weather and climbing to the the remote summit of Funtenseetauern (2578m). Read on to find out what we were up to.

Our Adventure on the Fire Mountain

Climbing Merapi is an incredible experience. It is allowed to hike Merapi without a guide and it can be done by anybody with basic fitness. The true summit is a little more difficult, be careful! If you are traveling around Java you should definitely go on a sunrise hike of Merapi. It was one of the greatest things we did in Inonesia!
