Hiking holiday, seventh day. The northern part of the Pustertal Valley is on our South Tyrol hiking map no white spot remain, that is why we want today to the hiking into the Anterselva Valley in the giant remote-AHRN nature park.

On the shore of Lake of Antholz

The Antholz Valley is quite wide for South Tyrolean conditions and is only from the Antholzer see up to the Staller Sattel narrow back to some. On the eastern shore of the Lake of Anterselva fantastic reflection of glacial Giants Wildgall and Hochgall forces me in the Lake to a short photo break. The ride continues then to the northern end of Lake of Antholz. There, a red light surprised us, What us continue on the Staller Sattel only in a window of a quarter of an hour approved. We missed this time window now exactly to one minute.

Beach Lake of Antholz

What to do? Wait or rescheduling and directly from the Lake Anterselva from start up to the Croda tip and so the planned mountain tour to approximately 350 Extend M? We opt for the latter, What gives me the opportunity, also the beach of Lake of Antholz digital memory my camera to capture.

We walk so directly from the Antholzer Lake to the East - interrupted only by a professional telephone conversation of the best wife of all - quite steep climb up to the Steinzger Alm up. From the Steinzger Alm, that is called also Montalalm, changes the landscape: Were we only in the dense pine forest on the road, We now hike through Alpine meadows, which are interspersed with Alpine roses shrubs. A Granten pickers (Cranberries) stops at the roadside just Holbmittog (Snack). We wander further proceeding, make one in the upper Steinzgeralm 180 Degree curve and then overtake a German hiking pair. Now we come in kargeres area, by a stream, the Montalbach located, and overtake again. This time a local pair of hiking. The overtaking take their toll, What notice especially our water bottles. No problem, We are indeed in addition to the Montalbach. Unfortunately, the Creek is now reduced to a trickle, what compels me, first a small receptacle to build, to get the water bottles at least up to the half full.

Which Red Wall stands before us, looks but at all do not like a wall, more like a pyramid but from much. We must now only or to the porphyrnen, partially gravel-, Hiking up partially block-like Gipfelaufbau. Surefootedness is here very much in demand, that is why we go now somewhat slower.

On the Gipflekreuz of the Red Wall of the Antholz Valley

To 12:20 It is then managed to clock. We are of the cross on the top Croda and have a beautiful due to the fantastic weather conditions 360 Degree Views. Starting in the West and continue clockwise: the glacier in the Ötztal Alps: White ball, Wildspitze, then the Stubai Alps, further to the the Hohe Tauern with the Giant also group im Vordergrund: Large Windschar, Hydrocephalus, Lean stone, Schneebiger Nock, Hochflachkofel, Wildgall, Hochgall, Steering stone, Large ear tip, in the main chain of the Tauern: Three men tip (in the North), Großvenediger, Grossglockner, in the West control tip, then the Lienz Dolomites, is it the Carnic Alps with the helmet, then the Dolomites in the South with Rotwand (Zehnerkofel), Elferkofel, Zwölferkofel, Dreischusterspitze , Haunold, Large Pinnacle, Cadini group, Monte Antelao, Monte Cristallo, Landro , Monte Pelmo, High Gaisl, Monte Civetta, Tofana, Croda del Becco, Marmolada , Piz Boé, Sella Massif , Sassolungo , SAS Rigais, Kronplatz, Peitlerkofel, Fermeda, Adamello Group, Plose, Presanella, Random Tip, King peak and Ortler.

Panorama table at the Summit of the Antholzer Croda

The interested Mountaineers a round panorama table provides the names of all significant, all around visible Summit on. The Red Wall is a vantage point as there are not many. With regard to the panoramic views it provides so many better-known Peaks of the Dolomites in the shadows. The numerous mountain skiers and hiker, You gradually arrive at the Summit, comprising only a few square meters, prove that.

We come from with an Italian mountain hikers Treviso in the conversation, the are the experienced CAI Member (capital . Alpine Club ) turns out to be and with which I can determine almost every summit in our field of vision without the assistance of the panoramic table. He tells us, that he recently had a week's tour of Europe's largest glacier area, is it the Adamello Group, has made.

I take this opportunity, to consult him about a peaks of the Dolomites, He is on my wish list, from me but not quite sure I, whether the best wife of all him bzgl. Danger could create. The throne of the gods, the Monte Pelmo, which is clearly visible even from here, has done it to me. My interlocutor thinks, that it would be feasible via normal easily for a proven hikers without climbing, that for example. via normal to the Civetta is much more difficult and that I in spite of the best wife of all the Pelmo already could expect their slight fear of heights. There should be only one only slightly more demanding job, -so he consoles me – you could get but at worst crawling over with.
The Italian hiker, He had his wife today in Val Casies, Since he apparently hiking technically has burned them during the holidays, is left. His way back is a lot longer, as of the, He lies ahead, because the bottom of Gsiesertales looks compared to our departure point, the Lake Anterselva, much further away from.

The local pair of hiking is now also arrived. A Antholzerin and a Rittner. During the conversation, I put into experience, that the Genziana hut before the Staller Sattel barrier is led by a Traminer. Interesting what you on a mountain peak so all experiences.

We are now at the way back through the path N. 7 to the Staller Sattel down, the most walkers have come up here. The trail proves to be easier and much less steep than our ascent route. In the wide arc, we walk in the of lesser pointed, Edelweiss head, Kaserspitz and Hinterbergkofel eingekesselte Agstal down. Moderately steep, we reach about Rocky, partially with water direction Staller covered meadows saddle always further down. The trail mutates to the road and the just still flat-distributed water collects in the Ackstall Bach, the suddenly quite clear water and a deep, Nice themeable streambed can have. The landscape becomes steadily lush and idyllic. It lacks only a few metres up to the Staller saddle, as we see the Obersee in the Defreggental on the Austrian side of the saddle. Again a border hike.

At the Staller Sattel between Antholzer Valley and Defreggental

Am Staller Sattel waiting for the transit permit a caravans. We don't have to wait, can instead the Panoramaweg, It shortens many serpentines, hike to the Lake Anterselva down. The way proves to be very finely to walking, at the same time but also unexpectedly long.

To 16:30 We come watch at the northern shore of Antholz wild Lake at the foot of the giant isolated from the Summit Wildgall und Hochgall at .

And since I still have not enough of hiking, I would like to persuade the best wife of all to one Wild Lake tour.
