September 20, 2022,Das hintere Defereggertal bis zur Jagdhausalm

The two alpine inns have been open since September 19th. closed. A stop is possible in the Jagdhausalm.
The peacock's eye is rather brown and half overgrown. The settlement, the valley and the panorama are worth every step of the hike!
