August 20, 2025,Hocheck x Watzmann Mittelspitze (T4, A/B, I-) ⚫️

Ascent at sunrise from the Watzmannhaus to Hocheck (2,651 m). A long, arduous hike. Reached Hocheck quickly in 1 hour 50 minutes.

Afterwards, we retreated over Hocheck to the valley, as bad weather was forecast for 1:00 p.m. And the rain finally …

Early in the morning we made our way to the Hocheck. The well-marked path is long and steep. There are some places on the way that are secured with wire ropes. On the way, getting up early is rewarded with a beautiful sunrise. After about 2.5 hours we reach the Hocheck with a …
