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 ↓

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 ↓
