| 08/09/2004 - After yesterday's walk we had accumulated enough points to merit the Gold Rucksack
badge. However we then decided to go for the Gold Rucksack with Diamond badge. This required 600 points,
looking at the stamping card the only way we could achieve this would be to climb the Geisstein and the
Hochlogel, and to revisit the Grune Boden Hutte. One of the pecularities of the walking badge was that
some clipping points could be revisited.
We decided to start with the easiest. So we took the cable car to Kohlmaiskopf and walked east along the main path to the Grune Boden Hutte (20 points). We continued along the main path before cutting off down grass slopes to find a path which joined up with path 17. This was very pleasant, and led to the Schonleitenhutte - more like a hotel than a hut. From here we took path 11 and path 17 down to Jausern for the bus back to Saalbach. The way down was disappointing as it was a wide forest track most of the way. After a leisurely afternoon and evening meal we visited the local Pumpkin Festival in the pedestrianised area. This brought many people out to enjoy the music and beer/schnapps. |
