Der Jäger von Fall: Hochlandsroman

A cold December night drapes the Alpine village of Lenggries in silence, the snow‑capped peaks cutting sharply against a deep, star‑spangled sky. The only sound is the relentless rush of the Isar and the occasional bark of a locked‑out dog, while a lone night‑watcher, Veri, trudges through the drifts in his fur‑lined coat and spiked staff. He pauses at a modest farmhouse, knocking insistently on a frosted window until a weary girl finally opens a crack, her voice barely rising above the wind.

Veri’s routine is a mix of duty and melancholy, his nightly chant once echoing from the village tower now forbidden by a recent edict. Beneath the stark beauty of the winter landscape, a subtle tension builds—what hidden dangers might the darkness conceal, and how will the watchman’s solitary vigil shape the lives of those he passes? The story unfolds with a quiet, rustic charm, inviting listeners to step into a world where every creak of wood and whisper of wind hints at deeper secrets waiting to emerge.
