외츠탈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

What a panorama and what a feeling of accomplishment to have conquered the pass by bike.

A relatively straightforward ascent via the Hohe Egg and the west ridge with occasional easy scrambling (I). The ascent or descent via the east ridge is prone to rockfall due to loose scree ⚠️ and is technically more demanding (II).

The Zwieselbachjoch, at 2,868 m, connects the Winnebachseehütte and the Schweinfurter Hütte. I was here on July 9, 1925, with about 30 cm of fresh snow. In good conditions, it's usually a pass that's easily accessible without any major difficulties, but for me this morning, the climb from the Winnebachseehütte was a strenuous one. I'm alone and the first one up.

Alpine high-altitude trail, rope safety, good footwear, head for heights, surefootedness, experience, guidance, suitable equipment, good weather

Weather was bad but the descent was magnificent

It's quite nice to drive over😀. Note: For cars it costs 19 € at the toll station above.

A simple transition, but very beautiful. You can see it clearly in the video here (blue link with start time): https://youtu.be/kCkJmW_ECzU?si=qUalBgYoHN18lPtT&t=390

For hikers, the yoke itself is rather unattractive but unavoidable when crossing the Alps on the E5. Quiet descent/ascent from the South Tyrolean side, beautiful on the North Tyrolean side once you have the section near the road behind you. Technically everything is not difficult.
