This
is our last day before
going home. Now we walk
straight out of our flat in Nesselwängle and up
towards
Rote Flüh, here
a bit to the left. |
Today
my legs are tired. We have been climbing mountains
6 out of 7 days,
But, we can rest tomorrow, on our way
home. |
We need a little more than one hour to climb
the 520 altitude meters to Gimpelhaus.
|
|
|
|
A bit higher the forest ends. You
can see
the path leading towrds Rote Flüh,
with the summit a bit to the left. To the
right are the cliffs of
Gimpel. |
The
climb of Gimpel means pure climbing with rope.
Observe the climber in
the middle of the picture. |
But we
are getting an easier climb, even if the last 100 altitude meters are a
"via ferrata".
|
|
|
|
| But
it's not very difficult. Suitable for anyone wanting to try
some wired
climbing for the first time, I would say. |
To begin with, there are plenty of wirers to
secure the climb. |
Higher
up one has to manage without, even if it is a bit steep.
|
|
 |
|
| Soon we
reach the summit at 2108m. |
Zooming
in Gimpel 2173m. Even here a
sharpeyed viewer can see a climber. |
To the
right of Gimpel is Köllenspitze 2238m.
|
|
|
|
| Tannheimer
Tal with Haldensee. |
And
what do we have here? Isn't it an Alpendohle? |
These
alpine jackdaws are alert, intelligent, good flyers and used to
tourists. "What do you mean? Should we eat out of your hand?".
|
|
|
|
| "Okay
then, your bread looks tasty." |
A
look down towards Gimpelhaus, with Nesselwängle in the valley.
