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. Widdersteinhütte
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! |
