Still not feeling 100% I decided I was not going to take the long and strenuous hike across the Gliederscharte. It made me a little sad but I thought about it this way: if I was hiking in a group and one of us wasn’t feeling that great we would have ammended plans and takenContinue reading “Day 15: Pfitscherjoch Haus to Pfunders – 10km”

Day 13: Hintertux – a rest day due to rainy weather! 8km
Slept in a bit, had breakfast, spent some time trying to figure out my route after tomorrow. Reservations and all! Around noon I headed out taking the gondolas up the mountain. There are hard core skiers here that will ski up on the glacier all year round. The skiers were already coming back down soContinue reading “Day 13: Hintertux – a rest day due to rainy weather! 8km”
Day 12: Lizumer Hütte to Hintertux – 15km
My earliest morning so far! Woke up at 5:45, breakfast was assigned at 6:45, and departure asap. Quite a few Munich to Venice hikers wanted to get going as early as possible as it was supposed to rain, possibly starting around 11:00am and later thunderstorms as well. I left at 7:30, can you believe it!Continue reading “Day 12: Lizumer Hütte to Hintertux – 15km”
Day 9: Hallerangerhaus to Wattens – 24km and 1700m down!
Had a lovely cafe macchiato for breakfast and actually managed to leave at 8:30. Must have been my earliest morning! Working on it! Just when I wanted to leave it started drizzling again. So everybody got their rain gear out again. Very steep climb up to the Lafatscherjoch (2081m). Quite foggy on the way upContinue reading “Day 9: Hallerangerhaus to Wattens – 24km and 1700m down!”
Day 8: Scharnitz to Hallerangerhaus – 13.5km
Decided to take it a little easier today and the innkeeper of the Risser Hof arranged for a shuttle to take me up into the Hinterautal to the Lanier Alm. This saved me about 15km. In retrospect I should have taken the train much earlier yesterday and walked the whole valley today because it wasContinue reading “Day 8: Scharnitz to Hallerangerhaus – 13.5km”
Day 7: Vorderriß to Scharnitz, Austria – 24km
I had played with the idea of taking a route over the Falkenhuette to Scharnitz but it looked like a rainy day and I decided to take a toll road out of the valley heading west to Wallgau, Mittenwald, and then Scharnitz. I should have followed the cycling/hiking path which would have spared me aboutContinue reading “Day 7: Vorderriß to Scharnitz, Austria – 24km”
Day 5: Bad Tölz to Tutzinger Hütte – 25km
It’s been a while since I had a chance to post anything. No reception, no wifi, an empty phone battery, and a blocked SIM card but here we go. Woke up at 4:30 and it was pouring rain. Just grateful I wasn’t hiking! Went back to sleep until just after 6:00 and decided to getContinue reading “Day 5: Bad Tölz to Tutzinger Hütte – 25km”
A bouquet of wildflowers
I picked myself a wonderful bouquet of flowers last night. All growing alongside the road and in the meadows everywhere right now. It also transported me back to my childhood, remembering I had done this many times before. A way of being in the moment, time does not exist as you walk from flower toContinue reading “A bouquet of wildflowers”
