Changes in the weather are usually associated with wind or storms. This was also the case today, but I was still able to take advantage of the weather window before the change. It was already quite windy at the top of the summit, even on the ridge above the Schwarzenköpfel. It was a bit quieter in the cirque.

The path to the Kreuzspitze begins with a pleasant forest path that turns into gravelly serpentines. The higher you go, the steeper the path becomes. You can then climb to the summit. You will be rewarded with a magnificent view 🌞👌 The descent is like the ascent.

What a day?!?
The alarm clock rang at 3 a.m., 15 minutes later I started and at 6:40 a.m. I was at the German-Austrian border. At 7 a.m., after a short breakfast, I started my hike. It went steadily uphill. The last 150 meters in altitude were even a bit demanding. Despite the rather pleasant ascent, I couldn't believe my …

Once again, the Epix 2 ended the tour on its own after half the length and did not continue the recording from the Kreuzspitze. Something is wrong with the fucking clock. This is the second time on a mountain tour and once I had a huge outlier when recording while running. That pisses me off like a beast. I never …

A short report about the tour:
We have them on 21.05. and at this time of the year it is very easy to walk up the mountain.

Initially, the path leads through a dried-up river bed and then into a very beautiful forest (with many switchbacks).
