April 30, 2023,Hochalphütte, Richtung Aggenstein (ohne Gipfel) – Reichenbachklamm Runde von Pfronten-Steinach
We didn't do the planned ascent to the summit today. There is still far too much snow for that and the visibility at the top was also poor.
But the tour was varied and felt like it took us through 3 climate zones 😃
Spring, winter, autumn and spring again 💚

Today we went half an hour before sunrise and with a fresh 8 degrees from the Breitenbergbahn car park through the Reichenbachklamm and the subsequent scree path into the high valley between Breitenberg and Aggenstein. Behind the ski lift station I kept to the left and went up over the cow pastures to under the Aggenstein. Here you will find …

So, after yesterday's arrival day, I was promised today that I could let loose.
They must have seen my distress yesterday 🤭


How I'm looking forward to it and I'm full of drive! I'm even up at 6:45 AM and fit.
Shortly after 9 AM, we drive together to the parking lot and the mountain station in Steinach. All the …

Parade tour on the border with Austria: fantastic and varied tour, first through the Reichenbachklamm, then via the Bad Kissinger Hütte to the Aggenstein. Insane all-round panorama! ☀️
Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required and be careful when wet!

Nice climb! Great panorama! Alternatively, you can go down with the Breitenbergbahn!

From the parking lot of the Breitenberg-Bahn it went over the many serpentines on a direct way up into the sun ☀️☀️☀️
Past the (unfortunately currently closed) Ostlerhütte, we wanted to take the "north route" down towards Pfronten (at the Ahornbach). But there was still a lot of snow (of course 🙈) on the north slope and we had forgotten …

... to get the body going ... it should "only" be a little loop on the Breitenberg, to take the train down to the valley with your knees gently 😇 ... well, then you got down on foot and made your way back through the Reichenbachklamm elected. That was not without ... but now we are fit and look forward …
