As
you start from Kühtai, on 2000 m, Sulzkogel is a
relatively acesssable
3000-meter with "only" 1000 altitude
meters. An uncomplicated walk also
contributes.
|
You
soon realize from where Kühtai got its name. |
The path first
goes to the dam wall of Speicher Finstertal.
To the right of the picture is Zwölferkogel, 2988 m.

Kühtai seen from
Speicher Finstertal. I need about 1 hour
to climb the 300 altitude
meters to the wall. |
In
the other direction, the dam with Zwölferkogel, and
Sulzkogel behind a
little to the left. |
The path
continues around the dam and after that the real climb begins.
|
|
|
|
It´s
mostly rocky, but some beautiful waterfalls can also
be seen. |
Closer
to the top it gets steeper, and the thin air also starts
to affect. I
see a woman collaps and turn back just some
200 altitude meters from
the top. No real problems though, apart from the thin air. The top is
in the middle of the picture.
|
The
real reward
comes when you reach the top. Extremely clear air with a visibility of
200 km in all directions also helps. I can see the flatland in
Germany north of the Alps, Hohe Tauern to the southeast and far into
Italy to the south.
Also, this is my first 3000-meter, nice!

Looking to the
southwest, with Ötztaler Alpen and
Wildspitze, 3770m. |
To
the south, a smaller cross and parts of Stubaier Alpen. |
