| 29/08/2004 - having collected our KontrollKarte Wandernadel from the tourist office, we did a circular from our hotel, worth 30 points towards our total. The tricky bit was finding our way out of the village and on to the Pascherweg. This was a delightful path that led up to the Spielberghaus ( 1319m - 10 points, and our introduction to the clippers) and our first beer of the holiday. This was not the brightest of ideas, as we still had over 400m of climbing. Unusally for Austria, after the initial zig zags, the path led directly up the hillside. We had started in sunshine, but it was now cloudy and by the time we got to the first top (Bernkogel 1740m) we had our cagoules on, but still had good views. We dropped towards Wetterkreuz (1663m - 20 points) which was marked by a wooden cross. We then followed path 13 (some track, some path) down to Saalbach. On the way down we got caught in a thunderstorm, and so arrived back at the hotel with clothes and rucksacks dripping. Luckily all the gear dried overnight on the balcony. | |
