Weitsee

Highlight • Lake

Super great area. The lake invites you to cool off, which is also allowed here. And it goes straight on with the two other lakes. The landscape reminds a little of the highlights, well a little 🤠

September 25, 2021,vergessene Pfade 🏞️: Weitsee 🗻 - Hörndlwand⛰️ - 25.09.2021

In bright sunshine we went today over a forgotten and partly overgrown path up to the Hörndlwand. We started from Weitsee. We went downhill on Route 45. Unfortunately, it was very steep, slippery and narrow. This path is rather unsuitable for the descent, but still feasible.

Today we went to the Gurnwand, where I was particularly interested in the gold hole in the Gurnwand. From 1500m still a lot of snow. That's why after a mountain pine (r)ampf with snow "only" made the Gurnwandkopf and back down via the Wappachtal. I saved myself the Hörndlwandkopf.
