Ninth day of our crossing of the Alps and simultaneously the start of a little extension to the classical Berchtesgaden-Lienz route: From Sillian the only way was up till we reached Sillianer Hütte, which is situated exactly at the Austrian-Italian border. At the beginning we followed a forestry track. After we worked through roughly two thirds of this day's march we had lunch at Leckfeldalm where we were belted by many cows. There was also a change in scenery at Leckfeldalm. We left the woods behind us and continued on gravel through an area more open and rocky than before. We had some leisure time at the hut before I felt something happening in my body...but more on that next week when it's time for another ThrowbackThursday post.

Duration: 4 hours (excluding breaks)
Length: 8.5 km
Elevation: 1075 m to 2447 m
Ascent/Descent: 1372 m ↑ and 0 m ↓
