Day 2

A neat parade of ramblers


 

View down to the Hintersteiner See


 

Lunch stop at the Steiner Hochalm

Day 3 (a.m.) - The Jubiläumssteig

In the morning, before leaving the Gruttenhütte where we had stayed overnight, most of the group did an above-grade walk along a path crossing a steep cliff.
 
This walk has its own page of photos. You can look now by clicking on this Jubiläumssteig link, or select it later.


Day 3 (p.m.) - The Gaudeamushütte

Viewed from the approach


 

and looking back


 

We descended the cliff on the far left


 

and here we are doing it.


 

Matratzenlagers

A photo of the standard accommodation
so nobody will get the shock that Jeff had!


 

Getting ready for sleep


 

Day 4
Via St Johann to the Stripsenjochhaus

Peaks to North of our wooded path


 

From a clearing


 

where we had a pleasant break


 

Rock climbers near the Schleierfall


 

and the waterfalls themselves.


 

Irresistible to some of our party
although the water here seems to be in short supply
 
Maybe a little artistic licence needed?


 

The onward route lead through a large cave


 

passing deep into the cliff


 

Later we stopped for lunch


 

Finally we reached St Johann


 

where many ignored the magnificent church


 

and investigated the magnificent cafes
