As
you start from Kühtai, on 2000 m, Sulzkogel is a relatively acesssable
3000-
meter with "only" 1000 altitude meters. An uncomplicated walk also
contributes.
|
You
soon realize from where Kühtai got its name. |

The path first
goes to the dam wall of Speicher Finstertal. To the right of the
picture is Zwölferkogel, 2988 m. |
Kühtai seen from
Speicher Finstertal. I need about 1 hour to climb the 300 altitude
meters to the wall. |

In
the other direction, the dam with Zwölferkogel, and Sulzkogel behind a
little to
the left. |
The path
continues around the dam and after that the real climb begins. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
It´s
mostly rocky, but some beautiful waterfalls can also be seen. |
Closer
to the top it gets steeper, and the thin air also starts to affect. I
see a woman collaps and turn back just some 200 altitude meters from
the top. No real problems though, apart from the thin air. The top is
in the middle of the picture.

The real reward
comes when you reach the top. Extremely clear air with a visibility
of 200 km in all directions also helps. I can see the flatland in
Germany north of the
Alps, Hohe Tauern to the southeast and far into Italy to the south.
Also, this is my
first 3000-meter, nice! |
Looking to the
southwest, with Ötztaler Alpen and Wildspitze, 3770m. |

To
the south, a smaller cross and parts of Stubaier Alpen.
