June 30, 2022,Bergtour zur Mindelheimer Hütte ☀️🌨⛈

For once on the road without a bike today 😛

Even without walking a few meters of altitude 🥳

I have to say, just a super nice tour.

Today we took advantage of the summer again for a beautiful tour - my favorite tour in Kleinwalsertal 😌🇦🇹Unfortunately we got caught in the rain, but it was still beautiful!

Very very nice round! You can also take summits with you if necessary, we didn't feel like it today 😅

The journey to Kleinwalsertal is a bit far, but it was well worth the trip. Parking costs €6 for one day, and you can pay with coins or a Parkster.
It was still quiet as I set off from the parking lot into Wildental. Initially, you walk along a paved road, then a forest path, and from the Fluchtalpe, a …

July 24, 2022,Walser Geißhorn

On my last tour, the Widdersteinumrundung ( komoot.de/tour/851448489 ), the tour to the Walser Geißhorn was recommended to me during a short break at the Obere Gemstel Hütte, as this would be great to climb with a dog.. No sooner said than done... a few days later we went back to the Kleinwalsertal and this time nothing should stand in …

I started at the Alpenrose stop in Mittelberg. Through the Wildental and the Kemptner Scharte we went to the Mindelheimer Hütte. The way up is steep and secured with ropes in some places. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are absolutely necessary. The view at the top is spectacular. After a short snack and an elderberry spritzer, we continued towards …

Very nice round trip! Unfortunately, both peaks were in the clouds today, but when the sky is a little more blue, the view must be great.

Showing Translation

June 12, 2022,Österreich, Vorarlberg, Allgäuer Alpen, Walser Geißhorn (2.366 m), Kemptner Köpfle (2.191 m).

Via the Gemsteltal to the Koblatpass and from there to the Geißhorn. Descent from the ridge and sharp left towards Hildesheimer Hütte. Not difficult from the hut to the Kemptner Köpfle. Descent into Wildental, the first 150 m mostly secured with ropes, steep and exposed on the rock. Pleasure tour, long.
