A slight Hill-country hike you want to be there today. We want to spend Saturday: together with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend. Also the best wife of all wants to pick up their new car in Brixen for the burner garage.
Hiking on the Lüsner Alm (South Tyrol )
After about a month ago, we our timeHill-country hike on the Rodengoer Alm had stopped at an early stage, We want to try it again today and the neighboring Alpine, theLüsner Alm, in attack take. Thus in Brixen, Car pick up and start the maiden voyage with the shunted wagons to Lüsen/Luson.
We go over the winding Lüsner road until after Lüsen, continue in direction Rungg, past the hotel Lüsnerhof, then the Joasenhof past and a gravel path to the car park Schwaiger soils (1.730 m).
Directly from the Schwaiger floors the trail starts No.. 2A, the us quite comfortably over at the Jöpplergrüebl Alm, without significant climb through the sometimes very light forest up to the Cross meadow cabin on 1.926 m up leads.
Cross meadow hut between Rodengoer Alm and Lüsner Alm
Here at the Cross meadows cottage are we now on mountain area with great views on the Plose and the Peitlerkofel. The temperature is ideal to relax, not too hot and not too cold. Front of the hut, two young boys on the accordion playing. Real alpine mood is in the air.
It is noon, so for the Uwe and time for me, the kitchen to test. As almost to everyone ALM South Tyrol, find here the typical traditional South Tyrolean cuisine with little choice, but this is, What is there (Dumplings , Polenta, Goulash, South Tyrolean Bacon, etc.) really good.
After food and drink, some Tratschereien, We walk over a relatively wide gravel path (No. . 2(B)) first in the East, then South. We intend to walk a few metres at random and then relatively early to go home.
Over at the Mason Alpine We come to the crossroads with the road n °. 2, which would bring us back directly to the starting point. The sister-in-law proposes, still a bit further to go. Your friend, the Uwe, is although not thrilled, Since he has slight problems with his ankle, but since we both are very favourably to the project, He bends the majority over democratic.
Now we walk towards the East easy upgrade, but at all not difficult, further and come to the Gnaider Alm over. We have just left the gravel road, Now we March,the route No.. 2 following , the Jakobsstoeckl opposed to. Passing in a chalet with cowshed the trail in an arc to a green pasture boiler leads around us.
Before us directly on the route are several calves that make any, the way free to give us. What to do? The young cows just schupsen on the page? For this our strength insufficient course, that is why is deal announced.
Branch mountain and Jakobsstöckl
Again, we pass a chalet, This time the Branch mountain It looks quite traditional. Shortly afterwards we go almost, but luckily only almost, most St. James Stöckel over . It is thanks to my photographic curiosity, that the Chapel, about 100 m right away from our way, comes without local it. The Jakobsstöckl (2.026 m), a small chapel with a crossroads, Although located in a slight hollow, convinced but still with an unexpectedly splendid panoramic view of Bruneck and the plan de Corones. It has paid off, depart the a few metres from the hiking trail.
The Jakobsstöckl on the Lüsner Alm
According to our Plose Würzjoch Panorama map should us the way no.. 10 in one you beautiful large bow of Wieser mountain, Glittner rooms und Hernegl Alm lead back to our starting point. Since this Alpine trail looks almost equally far from our current position as the return of the hiking trail no.. 2 We continue just straight on.
The ankle of the Uwe logs.
Again, cows block the path of us. A newspaper article in the sense comes to me, the reported, like a herd of cows attacked a pedestrian with two dogs and they carried it to the hospital has.
Along the Ridge,If you must call the center of the plateau, wandern We are still in the East. Again and again, we consult our panoramic map. Since we now Hiking tour not on the GPS device have loaded, is that our only navigation aid.
Anton Schwingshackl way and Glittner Lake
According to the Wieser Alm We hike on the Anton Schwingshackl way to the Glittner Lake. Finally, we reach this wonderful Alpine Lake. His home has found A pair of swans. Cavort in the crystal-clear lake is amphibious and small fish. Striders running on the surface of the water and need to be careful, to be eaten by the one or the other hungry frog.
Glittner Lake with view of Peitlerkofel
Now begins the descent. The ankle of the Uwe rebels. The Uwe must rückwärtsgehen, otherwise, there is almost no longer. This is for the Uwe although a torture, looks for us, but pretty funny. Unfortunately, this costs but also infinitely long.
We come in to a half eternity Turnaretsch hut at , turn right and walk the Forest path along . The way (still no.. 10) as is so often extends, If you have the highlight behind, in the length. Now we are on a dirt road, the right of us is an Apiary. A sign informs about the owner: Rupert Mayr of Peñón/Kurtatsch. Consider, Kurtatsch is located in South of Tyrol, Italy, We are here pretty much in the North. The best wife of all is psyched, Your hometown is the Peñón. "Show the be the Peidn the Mayr fa"!“, calls them.
We go and go, Finally, we reach a forest bar. Now it may be not far off. Is unfortunately not quite true. We must now some meters after below, cross the Plonerbach and in turn will hike on a forest road from next.
The last piece we would have to, because of the unfavourable running way, make a quite detour and walk almost 360 ° the Schwaiger soils around. Of course this can not be it, that is why we cut off at once directly through the forest. After 200 m cyclo-cross through the steep forest we reach the starting point and have, Although we only have a cosy, short Alpine walk wanted to make, 17,5 Km put back.
Hiking in South Tyrol , is my hobby . Usually the best wife of all and I are on the way on easy hiking trails . While the camera of course never fails . On this blog you can watch the result of our hikes .
