I wanted to tell the whole week of our immigration on Pentecost Sunday, but somehow I have not had the leisure to tell me to sit at the computer and write a report. Let's see what comes out today here:
Whit Saturday, long weekends and Beautiful weather. We had been times during the week more or less for fun chatting about whether we could not even take a trip in the mountains, to immigrate. Not too long and in any case a lot of altitude in order not to overdo it - I thought, anyway.
The smell which is more or less the Grünten, in my hiking guides were two nice trips described on flickr and I stumbled for more than a few pictures from the tour, recorded in March. In May, the already loosely be walked on, then, clearly is not as high, and a few snow fields are not even bother.
I wondered a bit first, if I send a text message really Thed should or should not, because I was not sure if I really felt like I summon up the next morning to pack your things and go hiking all the way in Allgäu. I could still clearly remember the morning of the Widderstein Tour last year, but then I just pressed 'send'. He, and it is summer, the days are long and would have at the hip with 5.5h hour tour is rich, start moving by 10 clock.
A little later ... the phone rings ... and that comes out of it:
are technically only the weather was the most beautiful moments, for we have become about three times drenched by the rain. Could we so guess not that it is everywhere pleasant except in the Allgäu:) But first things first ...
We meet at the gym (not gym) in Castle Hill where the road is long for a small piece of the road to equal hochschlängelt the mountain. Well maintained gravel, so really right to immigrate. After a few switchbacks, we have already gained some extent a diversion to the castle hill Hörnle, with the words "only for experienced hikers. I can only recall that was in the night before, read the Tour trip description mentions the castle Berger Hörnle by pointing out that a short piece would be a bit exposed. Would be the way to follow, so we are the warning signs. The road immediately to the path and trees, roots and stones, he winds steeply up the mountain. Many Höhnemeter in a very short time ... hey, this was thought to migrate, right? Sometimes the hands are used and we do one or the other short, short breather to not just completely fixed and ready to come up. The view is wonderful and reached the top of the summit, we make the first catch and are very good in time! Have an hour, used instead of 1.5 as specified in the tour description.
Shortly after the summit a little surprise: a fixed-rope-like, some exposed sections, but hardly comparable to the Caminito del Rey ;-) While the rest I had read the trip description again and it came out that we had taken the wrong turn. Correctly only 10-minute detour from the main road would have been that we would have two times out of this passage. After a brief moment of shock we were climbing in the attack and overcame it easily ;-) In truth, the sight of a little rocky passage was simply extraordinary, after the long winter break ...
It is covered and to Grüntenstraße house, we walk through a rain shower. In good time before the summit of the mountain station Grünten or the BR train comes back out but the sun. We want to run up to the monument to the fighters in order to the next well-deserved break . Make On the Way to a critical field of snow is situated on the slope, because we decide that later on the other side of the Grünten back to the valley to descend. Arriving at the Hunter Memorial it starts to rain just as we unwrap our sandwiches. Great. So running again, now it's just a down.
seems not 10 minutes later, the sun just as we slip on another snowfield. It's fun and goes without skis! Now comes the worst passage, across the steep southern flank and slipped the Grünten. This was probably even a way, now is just mud! Fortunately, it begins back to rain as we have this critical passage behind us. The better the beer tastes the stable of the Alpe, in which we forgave us because of what has become thundery rain. Continues through the rain that is more and more after we had left the house to rise by more. Heavy rain, hail, lightning and thunder! So I have my tour presented to immigrants!
At the end of another M McD, so now you take it from , so even the large fries to a salad afterwards because of the bad conscience and a coffee. Pancita Llena, Corazon Contento!
