Today I did the route from Wildhauser Schafberg towards Altmann. It's a great route that requires surefootedness. There's still snow in some places.

Yay... I finally dared to go over the Nädligergrat 😊. I've often stood at the Flispunkt and looked at this ridge path... from there it looks pretty pointed and narrow 🙈. I made the path from bottom to top (from Wildhaus in the direction of Altmannsattel/Flispunkt. My descriptions of this path:
At the beginning the path leads up over easy mountain paths and the further I went into this "valley", the more I felt like I was in another world, it is simply fantastically beautiful here 😍😍😍. Then easy scrambling begins 😄 and is followed by a fairly steep scree field (definitely the most challenging part for me 🙈, I don't want to go down there at the moment, although many people also take the path in a downward direction). After that the path leads over very beautiful, scrambling rocks... these rocks everywhere 😍😍😍, that is something that fascinates me incredibly and I really enjoy scrambling anyway 😊😄😄. At the Jöchlisattel you have a fantastically beautiful view in all directions and I can hardly stop being amazed. 😊. The route continues over really beautiful and difficult rocks 😍😄😍 and the "pointy" final ridge of the Nädliger didn't look soooo pointy anymore 😊. This is a blue/white marked, rather challenging T4 route and dry conditions are highly recommended!

The way from Wildhaus via Wildhuuser Schofbode to Altmann is an Alpine delicacy. However, sure-footedness and alpine experience is absolutely necessary (marked blue, T4). I recommend dry weather for the tour.
