August 3, 2022,Wanderung zur Nilljochhütte und ein kleines Stück weiter 😉😎

It was a nice tour with challenging paths.
Sturdy shoes 🥾 and sure-footedness are a prerequisite! The car park is subject to a fee (6€/day).
There is also food 🍵🍰 and drinks 🍻 🥛🍷 at the Schmiedleralm

Unfortunately, the Bodenalm has already been closed for 2 years and it is not foreseeable that it will open again
