Day 27. Bad Tölz – Kloster Schäftlarn. There is not much left to tell. The story will end tomorrow and we have decided to hike 40km today so that we arrive early in Munich the following day. It’s very flat now but the 40km take their time through forests and along the Isar. We don’t…

​Day 25. Vorderriss – Tutzinger Hütte. Nice stroll. I need to talk again about breakfast, but the bread rolls were so delicious! Instantly after the breakfast though we have to climb up a few hundred metres of altitude, on steep serpentines. The view of the mountains, river (bed) and clouds is amazing.  Once we are…

Our night in the big dormitory with at least 60 other people was not as bad as expected. We take our time in the morning but with so many people getting up and packing their stuff we are awake early anyway. Breakfast is expensive and not even a buffet so we eat our bread instead…

​Day 22. Hall- Hallerangerhaus. Easy day. Yesterday after our trip to Innsbruck we watched TV for the first time in weeks. While preparing the next days and using the Wi-Fi extensively, we watch the Olympics. Then we continue with a stupid music film, sleeping only at 10.30pm…Funny how this has become very late for me…

Today we sleep in. Breakfast is at 8am only and we only have to hike down a few hours to Hall on an easy trail and mainly through the forest.  We arrive around noon and can already access our room and have a shower before taking the train to Innsbruck. It’s only ten minutes by…

What a difference a day makes! The sky is shiny blue this morning and my mood already much better. After our fast breakfast a long day awaits us along the “7-TUXer” trail. We will climb six of the seven summits (all around 2500-2700m altitude) today and don’t even know where to sleep tonight (the regular…

We were settled for a long hiking day, getting up at 6am. Once we are ready however it starts to snow. It was already foggy, but the difficult Friesenbergscharte with some ferrata sections cannot be done if wet (plus snow plus cold). Its a hard but the only viable decision for our level of skills…

Day 17. Pfunders – Pfitscher Joch Despite waking up several times it was great to be in our own room with good beds. I feel much better rested and the breakfast has several sorts of homemade cheeses! Our stuff has barely dried but it is still raining so the boots will get wet anyway! We set…

Day 15. Würzjoch – Kreuzwiesenalm. After yesterday’s crazy long day I try sleep in (a little but as always I woke up often) and enjoy the four star breakfast for a while. I am so happy now when I get a good breakfast and this will probably not get any better. Having a small dormitory…

Day 14. We get up at 6am and start hiking without breakfast. We have a long day ahead of us, we don’t know yet just how much too long it will be. We want to skip the Puez hut (as we heard it’s extremely expensive and not nice) and combine three days into two. The…

Day 13. Oh what a yummy breakfast! Not only yoghurt and muesli but also “real” wholemeal bread as in Germany, Kiwi, Nutella, Philadelphia cheese, fresh juice … I am in heaven!  Unfortunately I can’t eat as much as I want and I almost feel sick as we start to hike. The sun is shining again…

​Day 11. Rifugio Tissi – Alleghe.  From the spectacular location of the Rifugio Tissi we are now going down to a town for the first time in five days. We hike up to the lake Coldai and decide to take the difficult trail down. It’s indeed very steep and includes some climbing. We are careful…
