Narrenkogel 2308 m
Poschachkogel 2574 m


   




The path to Narrenkogel begins in the village Niederthai on about 1500m altitude.
Niederthai is in a sidevalley of Ötztal, above Umhausen. A simple tour that's
suitable for us as the weather only permits a hike in the afternoon.
The path up through the forest is fairly steep, and there is no great views until we reach 2000m. Here you can see Ötztal.





Stratus clouds forming both below and above us provides an additional effect to
the scenery.

There are two crosses at the Narrenkogel. One smaller at the highest peak, and
one larger at the best viewpoint.
Our path continues along the ridge Am Joch, on the way to Poschachkogel. Here's a look to the north, towards Inntal.





To the south from Am Joch you can see Ötztal winding away towards the high
passes leading to Italy.
