Lechleitner Alpe

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Lechleitner Alpe is still farmed with young cattle. There isn't a Brettljause on every Alpe. But the steep path from Lechleiten is definitely worth it.

August 12, 2023,Biberkopf 🦫⛰️☀️🥾

For me and @derKlein we went to the great Biberkopf today.

Difficulty: T4, sure-footedness and alpine experience.

We started in Lechleiten. Although we were early, we got the penultimate parking space *g*

Via the Hundelskopfhütte we went up to the Biberkopf. A beautiful path that almost invited you to scramble. Perfect for warming up ;)
