Saxer Lücke

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Please do not encourage others to camp there too. It is forbidden and nature suffers as a result. There is rubbish from campers everywhere and there are plenty of other places where you can camp, just not here! leave your tent at home or in the car. Thanks =)

Mutschen Summit

Highlight • Summit

If you are already at the Mutschensattel, the climb to the Mutschen summit can be reached in just 10 minutes. The climb is worth it... the view of the Reinthal and a direct view of the beautiful Kreuzberge, Churfirsten, Altmann etc...
The zigzag path from the Mutschensattel to the Mutschen itself is a little narrow, but can be reached very quickly.

After crossing the Saxerlücke it became quite crowded/mass touristy on the path to the Staubern.
After a short lunch break we went downhill to Bollenwees.
At the end we did a …

I would say that this is a tour on mostly easy mountain paths that only requires a head for heights in very few places, but sure-footedness is of course never wrong on mountain paths.

That was another tour that was just allowed to develop 🥰...

Big hiking tour with Thomas with a fantastic view and fortunately great weather. ☀️😍 We were also able to marvel at some marmots and some ibex. The exact route of the hike was determined by looking at the weather radar. The initially indicated rain has finally cleared.
