Beautiful tour to the Plumsjochhütte. From now on it's winter break there.

Today I went to the Plumsjoch Hut. I would have loved to go back down, but I had to go back to Hinterriß; I didn't have enough energy left! :-) I went down a bit further to the bench, but it's not on the video because I didn't start my GPS recording! The area is a dream anyway!

Are the altitude meters really correct? 😏 Sometimes komoot is a bit rich, isn't it?

Today's goal is the Eng, even if it's a long drive. It's much more relaxed there during the week. We start late and leave it open how high it should be. Definitely to the Plumsjochhütte! We park on the last 🅿️ in front of …

The goal was to experience “Indian summer” in Ahornboden. But: aren't we already too late? Yes, unfortunately. The trees have already lost most of their leaves. But: on the drive up to the Plumsjochhütte we discovered some trees and bushes with sensational colors. And: the sun came out too! Perfect!
