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.
 A happy Peter at the top of Narrenkogel.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.
