Last day in the alps
for this
time. I go to Vorarlberg, a
place I have not been to before. I stop at
Hochtannbergpass, 1676m. |
As
I climb, I ask myself why I never went here before.
The mountains
aren't the highest, but the beauty is
second to none. And besides, it's
greener on lower
altitudes... |
Großer
Widderstein, 2533m, is close by.
It's a steep climb up there, time consuming. It will stay on my to
do-list until another time...
|
|
|
|
While I ascend, I look in the
other
direction. Widderstein-
hütte is
visible over there. I could prolong my time up
here a bit, by
walking over there afterwards. And maybe
they have a cappuccino over
there... |
As I'm
reaching the 2000m level, the real fun begins. |
Here
you follow a ridge, up and down, up and down. The summit is visible to
the right.
|
|
|
|
The
views are magnificent in both directions. But, if you
suffer from
vertigo, maybe you should not go here. Some passages are
narrow. |
At the summit cross on 2133m, with
Großer Widderstein in the background. |
Looking
back at the long ridge, from the summit.
|
|
|
|
| The
view are spectacular in all directions. Here's a look to the
west. |
On my
way back, I go off track, down to Hochalppass
1938m. From
there I can join the path leading towards
the hut. |
Some
local animal life
|
|
|
|
Here's
a look back, from the summit of Seekopf, 2039m. Höferspitze
is up to the right, with the ridge leading to
the left. Hochalppass is just
below the middle of the picture. |
A short
while later, arriving at the hut for a cappuccino, saving the day! |
