Widderstein

As the weather is still un-customarily warm and friendly Frauke and I went for a mission up Widderstein in nearby Austria. Der Großer Widderstein is a 2533 m that can be reached from Kleinwalsertal (a valley just across the border from Oberstdorf). It’s got a good traditional looking summit i.e. you know when you’re at the top. The round trip with a good break for lunch took about 6.5 hours.

Following our sunny walk we ate a tub of ice-cream as has become a tradition.

    It does look rather warm, and sunny. One might say pleasant conditions for wandering up a little hill.
