This
is the upper station of Hahnenkammbahn from Reutte. (There are more
than one Hahnenkamm in Austria.) This area is part of
the Nördlicher Kalkalpen, very beautiful mountains. |
After a short walk, Schneidspitze
is visible ahead. Here it's to the right. A good way to get there is to cross over Die Ditzl, here in front of Schneidspitze. |

Arriving at the foot of Die Ditzl. It's no more than 100 altitude meters up there,
doesn't take long to climb. |
The paragliders have found a thermal and gather like mosqitoes, to gain altitude. |
|
|

|
|
From the summit of Die Ditzl 1817m, you descend 60m to the pass Hochjoch,
at the bottom of this picture. |
The
sign at Hochjoch says that the path to the summit is black. Maybe
not for beginners then, but there are no wirers anywhere. A bit steep
though. |

Looking back to Die Ditz during the climb. |
The final climb to the summit. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Nice views down to Tannheimer Tal from the summit. |
To the north is Gehrenspitze 2163m. Behind it the German flatlands. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
To the east is Reutte down in the valley. Far away you can see Zugspitze 2962m. |
It's easy to find a new friend up here. You will be most successful if you have a piece of bread. |

I
decide to take a different route going down. I want to try the ridge,
leading to the pass Sabachjoch. The pass is just below the middle
in this picture. |
This ridge should be avoided if you can get vertigo. |
|
|  |  | |
| Looking back to Schneidspitze from the ridge. | During
this passage, along the cliff wall, there are lots of grips for hands
and feet. But you should be careful and in focus. | |
|  | | |
| Going back again, I take the route passing Lechaschauer Alm. I would say that their cappuccino is quite tasty. | | |
