Bergkastelspitze 2913m, 23/7 2012





 Bergkastelspitze as it appears from the cableway station
 on almost 2200m at Nauders. This mountain is, in all ways,
 a "real" mountain.
A look back at the cableway station and restaurant. Behind
is Piz Mundin 3145m.
A little higher, at the tree limit on 2300m. Bergkastelspitze is present all the time, the summit cross attracts up there.


 Goldseen are two lakes on a little more than 2550m. Here
 is the first one
.
Now it's time for the steeper section, up towards the summit. The whole way from Goldseen is really steep. But somehow it works anyway.

 The path is fairly visible most of the time, and there are
 red markings on the stones here and there. The trail really
 should be followed here.
In the steeper sections you can slip on the grovel. The
hands are needed sometimes.
The last section towards the summit is secured with a wire. At some places I hold it, at others it feels better to go beside. 

 Even if Bergkastelspitze requires no vertigo and safety,
 this is still a peak that can be accessed by anyone with
 some practice of steeper trekking. It requires some effort
 and concentration, but it gives a lot in return.
Klopaierspitze 2919m, to the south. There are two people standing on the summit. In the background, to the right is
Piz Bernina 4049m
.
A look down towards Nauders from the summit.
 Piz Lad in the southwest, with Silvretta behind. A look down towards Goldseen. Ötztaler alpen, to the east. To the left is Weißseespitze
 3516m and to the right Weißkügel 3739m.
