Temperature rose to 30 °C before midday on day eight of our crossing of the Alps and although the hike was not really challenging, we sweated a lot. After a long way down from Wangenitzseehütte to Iselsberg, we took the bus to Lienz, had a stroll though the city, boarded an ÖBB CityShuttle and finally reached our final destination for this day: Sillian near the Austrian-Italian border.

Duration: 6 hours (including breaks)
Length: 14.5 km
Elevation: 1120 m to 2620 m
Ascent/Descent: 150 m ↑ and 1550 m ↓

Sunrise at Wangenitzseehütte. The far mountains appear in a warm, orange glow.

I stand on a small, wooden suspension bridge and spread my arms wide to signal joy. Behind me the Wangenitzsee can be seen. In the top left the Wangenitzseehütte rises above the lake.

A hiking woman stops on a grassy path amidst rocky slope to embrace the stunning views. A valleay can be see seen far back.

Panoramic shot of a mountain ridge: The left is covered with dark green trees while the right is rather stonegrey.

A woman with two sick kids (fever and coughing) had to sleep in our dorm at Lienzer Hütte, because she couldn't descent further, so our sleep wasn't too restorative. Nevertheless we continued our adventure "crossing of the Alps" on day seven. After a diverting hike to the Wangenitzseehütte (2508 m), the highest situated Alpine hut in the Schober group, we attempted the climb to the top of Petzeck (3283 m) to finally get our first three-thousand-metre mountain done. However, rather sooner than later our concentration was used up, so with a heavy heart we turned around at roughly 2900 m, descended back down to the hut and took a swim in the cold lake.

Duration: 2 hours and 45 minutes to Wangenitzseehütte and another 3 hours and 10 minutes up and down the Petzeck (both including breaks)
Length: 6 km to Wangenitzseehütte + 4 km up and down the Petzeck
Elevation: 1970 m to 2925 m
Ascent/Descent: 1000 m ↑ and 450 m ↓

Green valley in the morning near Lienzer Hütte. The sun rises and only the bottom part of mountain sides are located in the shadows.

A very small lake in mountaineous grass landscape. The view to the far mountains is misted.

View from Unter Seescharte to Wangenitzseehütte and two clear water lakes in between.

My girlfriend crosses a tilted rock field.

Longest stage on day six of our crossing of the Alps. We hiked from Glorer Hütte (2651 m) via Peischlachtörl (2490 m), Gernot-Röhr-Biwak (2926 m), Elberfelder Hütte (2346 m) and Gößnitzscharte (2737 m) to Lienzer Hütte (1977 m) into the heart of the Schober group. As we knew beforehand that this day would be rather long, the discussion about climbing the Böses Weibl (3121 m) at the Gernot-Röhr-Biwak was settled quickly. We skipped it and the second chance to climb our first three-thousand-metre mountain went out the window. In hindsight this was not the wrong decision, because we then would have missed out on dinner at the Lienzer Hütte. We enjoyed watching different marmots along the way and even captured a decent photo of one.

Duration: 9 hours and 45 minutes (including various breaks)
Length: 15.6 km
Elevation: 1970 m to 2926 m
Ascent/Descent: 1050 m ↑ and 1725 m ↓

Early in the morning at the Glorer Hütte: Dense fog patches prevent the view into the valley.

Sun rises beyond the mountain ridge and turns the landscape reddish around the Glorer Hütte.

A lone hiking path in the a green-grey mountain landscape. The early morning mist starts to fade. The sky is clear blue.

I cross a rocky ridge.

Did a short and relaxed after work hike.

Duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes
Length: 8 km
Elevation: 450 m to 515 m
Ascent/Descent: 170 m ↑ and 160 m ↓

A lake with forest on both lakesides on a sunny afternoon. The lake's surface mirrors the blue sky and the clouds above.

Sunlight shines through trees in the woods.

A big, dark gray cloud looking like a mushroom right above a meadow.

Typical uneven landscape in the Swabian Alps on a late summer afternoon: Green meadows, many trees and houses sprinkled in between.

I wonder how long I'd have to lie on the trail before turning to stone. 🤣

After a good nights sleep at the quiet Pasterzenhaus, an auxiliary building to the Glocknerhaus, we were welcomed by warm sunlight in the morning on the fifth day of our crossing of the Alps. About roughly 90 minutes into the tour we reached the Obere Stockerscharte with a perfect view back onto the Glaciers. From there on we saw many marmots on both sides of the hiking path - unfortunately no good photos! - till we reached the Salmhütte. After we refilled our stomachs and continued for a another one and a half hour, we ended the hike in the early afternoon at the Glorer Hütte (2642 metres).

Duration: 4 hours and 15 minutes (excluding some smaller breaks accumulating to 30 minutes and an hour long lunch break at the Salmhütte)
Length: 10.5 km
Elevation: 2000 m to 2665 m
Ascent/Descent: 960 m ↑ and 450 m ↓

We start the hike at 08:45. Some areas around the Pasterzenhaus/Glocknerhaus are still in the shadows as the sun has not yet risen high enough. In the distance we can see the first intermediate target of todays hike - the Obere Stockerscharte.

I look towards Pasterze and Margaritzenstausee. The Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße can be clearly seen on the other side of the reservoir.

I point at a small white sign which reads "Obere Stockerscharte 2501 metres". In the background the Pasterze can be seen. The Großglockner on the left is covered in clouds.

Outdoor seating at the Salmhütte at 2644 metres. A single man sits on the benches and enjoys the vista. The Salmhütte actually consists of two houses side by side and a shed.

We had changeable weather on the fourth day of our crossing of the Alps - moderate rain, dense fog, chill wind and some rays of sunshine sprinkled in between. The landscape tried to match the variety of the weather, from Alpine meadows at the Trauneralm to large scree fields near the Untere Pfandlscharte and the rather busy Pasterzenhaus at the Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße. During a short break in the Untere Pfandlscharte, we decided against ascending even further to the top of the Spielmann, because it was already cold and very(!) windy. Sadly this meant we missed the chance to climb our first three-thousand-metre mountain.

Duration: 5 hours and 30 minutes (including various breaks)
Length: 9 km
Elevation: 1522 m to 2663 m
Ascent/Descent: 1230 m ↑ and 610 m ↓

It is 07:30 in the morning. Apart from me, you can see a misty, green mountain landscape. A clear stream with small waterfalls flows from the left, crossed by a rustic wooden bridge in the center. I stand on the bridge in dark clothing and a backpack and hold my trekking poles. The surrounding hills are covered in dense green vegetation, with towering mountains in the background partially obscured by low-hanging clouds.

Looking back to yesterday: The Käfer valley in all its peacefulness.

A rocky mountain path winds through lush green grass and bushes. A large, dark rock face is visible on the right, while the rest of the background is completely enveloped in thick, grey-white mist, obscuring any distant views.

My girlfriend with a large backpack and poles ascends a rocky, uphill trail. A very small waterfall flows beside the path. The background is obscured by thick fog.
