Knappen (alternative route)

Date:
31.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
4.3km

We started from Varden, walking down Marineveien and connecting to Bjørgeveien, where we turned left into Sandeidbrotet after only a few meters along Gjeddevatnet. This little side-street leads steeply up (into the direction of Knappatjørna). At "the top", where the street makes a sharp turn to the left, a hiking path leaves to the right (only a few meters above another side-road, which only connects to a private place instead). Following the hiking path (into northwestern direction) brings one nearby Røstafjellet, i.e., another residential area (north of Knappen and slightly elevated above Bjørgeveien). Before actually entering this area, another hiking path leaves to the left and upwards, first in western direction, but then, following the ridge, turning more and more into >>>

Langtrotten on Algrøyna---wild! :-)

Date:
30.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
6.8km

We parked near the bus stop Urhaugen (almost the last one on Algrøyna) and walked from there, first continuing on the road (Nordre Øyavegen, then Kongvikvegen). Near house #51 along Kongvikvegen, one leaves the road and descends down towards the eastern end of Kungvika. There, following one of the paths, we crossed over to the other, southern side that connects to Barmaneset, i.e., the middle of the three "fingers" of Algrøyna. Following the path, we walked westwards, between Urhaugen and Måshaugane, and continuing across Nordra Mynteidet further west and onto Barmaneset. The path leads to the innermost bay of Krabbakeila, where it isn't 100% obvious of how to continue further towards Langtrotten (one has to turn left, basically, walk down, across, and up again, and sneek >>>

Großglockner from Ködnitztal

Date:
17.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
12:00h
Distance:
15.8km

We started from Lucknerhaus, where a nice guy drove us up to Lucknerhuette (in order to give us an easy start into this hike)! From Lucknerhuette, we did a relaxed walk up to the Fanatscharte (and Stuedlhuette, there). On Stuedlhuette, we met our guide (from the Kalser Bergfuehrer) and discussed the weather (it really did not look promising, both in terms of rain/snow and also wind). After some thinking, we decided to still make an attempt, at least up to Adlersruhe (and Erzherzog-Johann-Huette, there). We started (into the freezing rain) and followed the "Normalweg", which leads around Schere, first, before then ascending on the upper-left side of Koednitzkees, before crossing over (to the east), leaving the glacier there, and continuing as a moderately easy climibing stretch >>>

Hiking up Teischnitztal

Date:
16.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.6km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer houses at the upper end of Kals am Grossglockner and headed for Teischnitztal from there. After only a few minutes, one connects to the road that leads further to Moaalm. Instead of following this road for long, we turned right just before crossing Teischnitzbach, and took a forrest road that winds upwards at the slopes of Tschenglkopf. When stepping out of the forrest at about 2100m sea-level, a dramatic canyon opens in front, leading to the upper parts of Teischnitztal. We continued on the forrest road also through this canyon until the place, where the valley opens up at the end of the canyon (there is also a small bridge that connects to the other, western side of this valley from there). Just before getting to this bridge, actually, we turned >>>

Boeses Weibl from Lucknerhaus

Date:
15.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
15.4km

We started from Lucknerhaus and went first via Nigglalm to Oberfigeralm. From there, we continued into the valley of the Peischlachbach, heading for Peischlachtörl at 2484m. There, we turned right (into southern direction) and started the actual ascent to the Boeses Weibl. The ridge leads up to the Tschadinsattel, from which it only is several minutes to the top of the Boeses Weibl. Unfortunately, we could not reach the top, while the weather was still OK---so we had to imagine the great views from the top of this mountain. We then descended along the same route until we came to a place (on the ridge), where a path to the west, towards Tschadinalm, separates (at about 2760m sea-level). We then continued towards Tschadinalm (at about 2325m sea-level), before turning right again and connecting >>>

Greibühel-Figerhorn-Tschenglopf

Date:
14.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
12.4km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer houses a bit above Kals am Grossglockner. We first followed the road towards Kals a bit (to the place called Burg). Right before the bridge over Burgerbach, we turned left and followed a forrest road, leading into the valley of Burgerbach. Only a bit into this direction, the path turns right and crosses Burgerbach---from there on, it leads upwards towards Geierspitz (2102m). From there, the path extends over nice mountain meadows towards Greibühel (2247m). This place offers wonderful views, especially towards south, across Ködnitzvalley and towards Schönleitenspitze, etc. At this place, we split into two parties, of which one continued along this meadow-path, descending towards Lucknerhaus in Ködnitztal. The other two of us continued towards >>>

Dorfertal next Kals am Grossglockner

Date:
13.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
6.9km

We started from the Spöttling-Taurer region above Kals am Grossglockner and walked directly into the Daberklamm from there. This narrow canyon is interesting to visit and from an observation platform, one has great views into the canyon. Soon after, we reached the beautiful Dorfertal, which extends far north from there and offers wonderful hiking opportunities (easy and demanding). We went a little into Dorfertal, reaching Bergeralm, where we turned around. On our way back, we decided to follow the old connection of Dorfertal with Kals, crossing over Moaalm. Also from there, one enjoys very nice views, both into Dorfertal and over Kals. From there, it was then a quick and easy descent back to the Spöttling-Taurer area. All in all, this hike was mostly relaxing and easy---in the beautiful >>>

Blauspitze near Kals am Grossglockner

Date:
12.07.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
17.0km

We started from Spöttling-Taurer in the upper end of Kals am Grossglockner, crossed over the Kalserbach there to the western side of the valley, and ascended from there along the Mitterbach-valley towards Kereralm. From there, we continued upwards towards the Hohes Tor. At about 2000m sea-level, we ended up in a thunderstorm and started to feel somewhat uneasy, exposing us too much to the bad weather. We therefore turned around and descended, again, following a forrest road southwards from Kereralm (at about 1800m sea-level). We connected to the place, where a lift comes up from Grossdorf, connecting to Ganotzalm, further up. We continued on the forrest road, which leads up to the hut Glocknerblick on about 1950m sea-level. There, we had a nice rest and filled up some energy (unfortunately, >>>
