Morning beauty, when
the moist
from thunderstorms in
the night form lower clouds. This picture is taken along
the road from Oetz
to Kühtai. |
After
parking my car in Kühtai, I use the chairlift up to
around
2400m. |
Nice company up here. Plenty of the kind of
sheep, that are typical for this area.
|
|
|
|
| And horses, really! |
After
1,5km I have descended to 2300m, at the dam
Speicher
Finstertal. |
You
have to walk a bit along the lake, before starting the real climb. Here
it's time for a brake at almost 2600m.
|

|
|
A bit
higher, at the saddlepoint Steintalsattel. The official
altitude is
2741m, but my altimeter shows more like around 2670m. |
Well,
at the summit my altimeter agrees with the official
figures. Most of
the climb is failry steep. But from the saddlepoint it gets steeper.
The hands are needed as a support, from time to time. There is a steel
wire at the final climb to the summit. |
The
summit is small, there can't be to many up here at the same
time.

| A
view
back towards Kühtai. Lots of ski slopes down there. |
The
lake, Speicher Finstertal has the most beautiful
turquoise
color. To the left, behind the lake is Sulzkogel 3016m. I climbed that
one in 2006. |
Zooming
in Gaiskogel 2820m, 1,5km to the northeast. Two persons are standing up
there.

|
Magical
with the clouds and the mountains, to the south. |
Finally,
looking to the nothwest, Lechtaler alps far up there. |
