March 7, 2024,🇦🇹 Stubaital ~ Winterwanderung nach Maria Waldrast

After my fall on Monday, skiing was out of the question 🙈
Nevertheless, I had to take advantage of the beautiful winter weather and so I hiked (or rather hobbled) from the Koppeneck mountain station along the chapel path to the Maria Waldrast pilgrimage monastery, and returned via the Ochsenhütte.

Wonderful tour from Koppeneck...and always "Queen Serles" in view. Great view of Innsbruck and the Nordkette.
