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 ↓

An und über der Baumgrenze.
Das Gipfelkreuz ist die #RoteWand
Im Hintergrund der höchste ist das Warscheneck.

Und so sieht "gebankter Dachsteinkalk" aus, wie er bei der Beschreibung des #Warschenecks auf Wikipedia genannt wird...

Auf den ersten beiden Bildern ist der #Stubwieswipfel aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.
Links vom Stubwieswipfel die beiden #Pyhrgas und rechts der #Bosruck
Auf den letzten beiden Bildern die #RoteWand.
Beide liegen an der #Wurzeralm im #Warscheneck Massiv am Rande des #TotesGebirge

Auf der Roten Wand waren wir oben. 1872m über dem Meer.

Tried another "different kind" of editing (for me). I included the original as well. I'm still experimenting and I guess we all have different tastes... But it's fun to try things I normally don't do... 😊
