Today with 50 people at the Ritzaualm, a small Christmas party in the cozy restaurant.
If you wanted, you could go further towards Petersköpfl.
No one came up today because of too much snow.
A slight cold made me turn in early today.

Long and relatively steep descent on a well-kept path or even a forest path. The last 100 steps are then often poison for the knees. ; - /

An easy but steep ascent to the Vorderkaiserfelden Hut. Unfortunately not suitable for prams due to the stairs at the start ;-)
