This
day really is a resting day. But, since the weather is supposed to be
fine in
the early hours, I make a shorter trip anyway. First by car into
Kaunertal (payroad,
22Euro). It's an experience in itself.
|
The
road ends at a large parking place at 2750m. |

|
A
bench at 2850m. Behind is Weißseespitze 3516m. |
Apart
from the beautiful view, the trail can seem a little bit "boring" with
a prepared road to walk on. For a while you follow the cableway going
up to Karlesjoch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then
the mountain appears ahead. Here it is in the middle of the picture.
Still it's a very simple walk. |
Karlesspitzen, 3160m. |

|
|
Almost
at the entrance to the final climb. The summit cross is up there. |
The
final 100 altitude meters are totally different. Now it's steep,
sometimes secured with wire and iron bars. Some places are not secured,
but you wish they were. During this part it's wise to be careful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Almost at the summit. |
The
actual summit is quite narrow, as a knifes edge, with speep cliffs on
both sides. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The final passage to the summit is airy. In
the background Ötztaler alpen. Thanks
to the rather difficult last 100 altitude meters, and the very limited
space at the
summit, Wiesjagglkopf
now provides a totally different feeling than it did before.
I'm alone up here, probably the only visitor today. |
The
road from Kaunertal winding upwards. |

Weißseespitze,
once again. |
