If
you use the Acherkogelbahn from Ötz to Hochötz there are good
opportunities
to simple (but also demanding) hiking.
|
Just
close by rises the Acherkogel , the most northern 3000-meter peak in
Austria. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The path up to Roßköpfe is very
easy. But Robert and me finds another way.
|
It
is a little steeper, but a lot more fun. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
summit of Roßköpfe is beautiful, but we are aiming higher and don't
stay
long. |
Our
path continues towards Wetterkreuzkogel, just some additional 200
altitude meters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even here the path is quite simple,
therefore attracting a lot of tourists. |
The
welcoming comittee on Wetterkreuzskogel. This guy was very curious on
what I had in my backpack. Eventually he got a bisquit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
summit of Wetterkreuzkogel, 2591m. Plenty of tourists, as I mentioned
earlier. |
But
we are continuing in the direction of Acherkogel, over Große Windegg
and Mittertaler Scharte. This path is black = almost no tourists.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bit
to the right of the middle is Sulzkogel, 3016m, which I climbed two
years ago.
|
A view
down into The Ötztal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
passage of Große Windegg is made easier by metal chains, making it
quite smooth.
|
Continuing
to Mittertaler Scharte. After that there is a relatively steep path
down, but without wires.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back
into the green on lower altitude, on the way back to the lift station.
In the valley you can see Ötz.
