| 07/09/2004 - Staffkogel and Sonnspitze are two peaks at the head of the valley.
This was a very pleasant walk, and one of our favourites from this holiday.
We caught the bus to Lengau, and Noddy train onto Lindlingalm (1310m). From here we took the track to the Ossmannalm, and then onto path 3, a very pleasant path winding between the trees. Once path came out into the open it climbed gradually to join the main ridge at the Oberreiter Joch. From this col we walked up the path leading to the summit of the Staffkogel. We descended down the same path for a short while, before turning off on the path which led to the Henlabjoch. This col at 1860m is one of the lowest crossing points in this part of the valley. A path leads west from here towards Kitzbuhel. This is a walk that we did not do - its possible to get a taxi back, and sometimes the walk is organised by the tourist office. From the col we walked up to the summit of the Sonnspitze. Finally We returned to the Henlabjoch, and then took path 3 down to Lengau, with a good aerial view of the Noddy train. |
