July 7, 2023,🇦🇹 Schladming - 3-Tages Rundwanderung (2/3) - Zur Keinprecht-Hütte - Von Dahoam in die Nachbarländer

Day 2 of our 3-day circular hike.

Greeted by the sun ☀️ after breakfast 🍞☕ we continued on day 2 to the Keinprecht hut.

There are 2 ways to get to the Keinprecht Hut from the Ignaz-Mattis Hut. We chose the longer tour over the Duisitzkarsee and saved the Rotmandlspitze for the way back on day 3 🙂👍
