After a good nights sleep at Freiburger Hütte we were ready to start day 4 of the Lechquellenrunde and - how could it be any different? - we've been advised to take the safer route again. So instead of going past Schönbühel and Östlicher Johanneskopf as planned we went back "the boring way" into Lech valley, stopped for a snack at Gasthaus Älpele before ascending towards the Göppinger Hütte. In the end we got really wet but had a decent timing as we reached the hut right about it started to thunder.

Duration: 5 hours and 45 minutes (including breaks)
Length: 14 km
Elevation: 1560 m to 2245 m
Ascent/Descent: 730 m ↑ and 430 m ↓

On day 3 we've been cautious again and did not took the route via Gehrengrat towards the next hut. Instead we got past the Spullersee, descended back into the Lech valley and hiked along the Lech (this segment was part of another long-distance hiking trail - the Lechweg) until we reached the Formarinsee.
Upon arriving at the lake, we settled for the white-blue-white marked route on the eastern side towards the Freiburger Hütte. I got lucky here as about halfway along the lake a maybe fist-sized stone came crashing down from above a few metres behind me.

Duration: 6 hours and 25 minutes (including uncounted breaks for food, photos or simply to enjoy nature)
Length: 14.5 km
Elevation: 1580 m to 1948 m
Ascent/Descent: 400 m ↑ and 425 m ↓

The setting sun above #LlynLlydaw on the #MinersTrack for #MountainMonday.
I don't have an eye for black and white, but the original is almost colourless and uninspiring with the sun so bright, and I thought B&W might add something here.

At the start of May 2024 we travelled to the Achensee by train and bus for some hiking days. Sadly, my girlfriend fell ill on the day after arrival, so the hiking part of this holiday was cut massively.
Instead I had some time to enjoy the steam train ride from Jenbach to the lake.

That was the destination of my hike of my previous pic - lake Oberer Gaisalpsee. While its counterpart some hundred meters beneath it is totally overcrowded during spring and summer, here you'll rarely meet lots of other people and you can enjoy the calm scenery nature provides.
