13.01.22 – A Snowy Adventure

Hey, it’s been a while! But I wanted to share a small but fun adventure with you.

Last weekend my friend Lars and I went hiking to the Feldberg (Taunus) about 40 minutes away from Langen. We went there one year ago and found a completely other world full of snow just 40 minutes away from home! So we wanted to visit that place again and hoped to find it covered it snow. And we did. It snowed the day before and everything was covered in a thick layer of snow like one would find in the bavarian mountains. We packed our stuff, including our drones (Lars got himself a Mavic Mini) and after being lucky finding a parking spot, we started to walk up the few hundred metres.

During the hike we shot some cool drone footage that we wanted to make a small video of. We walked further up the path and found the top of the small mountain surrounded from clouds, snow and piercing cold wind. Apart from the strong wind a completely different view from last time, where we could look over the sourrounding valleys for kilometres. Now, after 20 metres, people would dissolve in a grey mixture of snow and clouds. Pretty cool actually! But no condition to fly a small drone in.

After walking around the sci-fi looking telecommunications tower on top of the mountain and having a small lunch, we started our way down and back. This time we started a bit earlier with walking back down since last time, we had to descend in darkness with flashlights, which wasn’t particularly save. After a 30 minutes walk on a snowy country road we reached the car and I am still happy that we managed to get back on the slippery, snowy road with my old Opel Corsa.

We arrived safely at home and already knew we had some cool drone footage to show!
