This
is the upper station of Hahnenkammbahn from Reutte. (There
are more
than one Hahnenkamm in Austria.) This
area is part of
the Nördlicher Kalkalpen, very beautiful
mountains. |
After a
short walk, Schneidspitze
is visible ahead. Here
it's to the right. A good way to get there is to
cross over
Die Ditzl, here in front of Schneidspitze. |
Arriving
at the foot of Die Ditzl. It's no
more than 100 altitude meters up there, doesn't take long to
climb.
|
|
|
|
| The paragliders have found a
thermal and
gather like mosqitoes, to gain altitude. |
From
the summit of Die Ditzl 1817m, you descend 60m to
the pass Hochjoch, at the bottom of this picture. |
The
sign at Hochjoch says that the path to the summit is black.
Maybe
not for beginners then, but there are no wirers anywhere. A bit steep
though.

back to Die Ditzl during the climb. |
The final climb to the summit. |
Nice
views down to Tannheimer Tal from the summit.
|
|
|
|
| To the
north is Gehrenspitze 2163m. Behind it the German
flatlands. |
To the
east is Reutte down in the valley. Far away you can
see Zugspitze 2962m. |
It's
easy to find a new friend up here. You will be most successful if you
have a piece of bread.

I
decide to take a different route going down. I want to try
the ridge,
leading to the pass Sabachjoch. The pass is just
below the
middle
in this picture. |
This
ridge should be avoided if you can get vertigo. |
Looking
back to Schneidspitze from the ridge.
|
|
|
|
During
this passage, along the cliff wall, there are lots of
grips for hands
and feet. But you should be careful and
in focus. |
Going
back again, I take the route passing Lechaschauer Alm. I would say that
their cappuccino is quite tasty. |
