High above Saltaus We float on the eastern flanks of Passiria from the valley station of the Hirzer cable car (490 m) zuerst zur Mittelstation nach Prenn (1.404 m) and for once, change to the mountain station Gorge also (1.980 m) upwards . I must confess, that I have never so far in the Val Passiria in it was, even though Saltaus just at the beginning of this rustic Valley is. For me as a South-the South Tyrolean is it still far North

Tallner Alm and Hirzer in the background

I am very pleased, that we us for the Seilbahn have chosen. 1.540 Up and then down cost meters 17 Euro per person; for Alpine Club members only 11 Euro , proving once again, that the Alpine Club double and triple pays membership card (you forget not the comprehensive insurance cover, which to easily that alone 35 Euro minimum annual contribution is worth!) But back to our walk. The Hirzer cableway ride makes us curious about this mountain valley still roads of us. I take up me firmly in www.Suedtirol-360.com This summer some 360° photos of surrounded with powerful mountain peaks (many of 3.000 Metres high) Passiria to upload.

But now it goes to a lower Hiking destination. We want to Gingerbread tip (2.698 m) to the Hirzer (2.781 m) drop and then on the European walking route E5 back down.

Ascent to the honey

From the Mountain station Klammeben leads Alpine trail No. . 40 wide and flat Middle by dense Alpine rosensträucher through, to the Stafellhuette over . "Hosch schun amol as much Olmrosen af oan Haufn gsechn"?"Na", OBR me hobn they gsogt, "that do ban Hirzer so much Olmrosen be." Not even 15 Minutes and already we have arrived at the Stafell Alm. 90 Degree turn and follow the signs for gingerbread pointed.

Numerous Alpine Roses bloom on the Tallner Alm in the Hirzergebiet

Steep, we rise up through the Alpine roses. Although we us on 2.000 Meters are, is it not only pleasant warm, But even hot. At night it rained seemingly. There is an extremely high humidity, Tropical climate, so. Klar, that it takes not long until the beads of sweat not only over the forehead kollern us.

The Heath from Alpine roses is beautifully, would certainly still beautiful, If we, would come two weeks earlier; then we would have certainly still strong, fresh flowers can admire. Today they are already in the flowering. Once again, it is aware, but our country is different. The "magic of diversity", as the South Tyrol says marketing company SMG, is reflected not only between mountain and Valley, Summer and winter, Sport and culture again; even in relation to the mountain landscape in detail one finds always they. In the West in the Dolomites, a hard transition between forest and rugged striking, enable countless forms, Rock formations with world famous names; quiet in the East, sleepy meadows, What is soft and gradually in the pyramidal, often white, Resolve peaks. Second, I personally like better, but as hikers and mountaineers to climb glad also world-famous summits

We pass a weather Cross and now wander the grassy, gradually into the hillside übergehenden Ridge, the hiking trail no.. 7, in an easterly direction up.

We both have a good day. The best wife of all complains about a light dizziness, makes me, because of spurned breakfast, a not-so-slight hypo felt. Was a mistake without starting breakfast! We need to briefly halt, to at least a SIP Elderberry juice to be able to take to us. This strengthens at least as much, that we can go.

The Meadow path starts to be now Rocky. Porphyry rock (more precisely, I can name it, because I can unfortunately only between porphyry- and limestone are different) stands out as a more and more frequently from the Alpine meadows until it almost completely displaced same. The path continues along a ridge from slightly suspended, What makes the best wife of all to very peculiar statements. "Do i kimm nit Ivor"!“ (= Since I'm not up). I'm slightly puzzled swipes, because we have much more extreme Mountain routes dealt with. I move it to its current Constitution, say not much cause and will limit myself to, their detailed steps about how to give: "Do raise". Fuas do aui tean. Mandy belly to mount nit to the ToL!"This helps fortunately a little".

I find it a pity, that the best wife of all can not enjoy the way, because I personally love such paths, where one must look at all the time. Then it is focused on the way considered and not physically notes effort.

Because the best wife of all crawls more than is, We are now quite slowly making progress, but still reach the junction before the marked time, Which one 50 m up to the Summit cross the honey over leads.
"I word do." What I now think, Gets censored. Only so much: With patience and some perseverance I can persuade the best wife of all, to follow me to the cross of honey, what they are, while I don't, rewarded with a short NAP.

At the Summit of honey on the Hirzer pastures

Before the mountains: Hirzer pastures, Val Passiria , Summit Hirzer, Plate yoke, Record tips, Verdinser record needle, Oswald Spicata, Ifinger, Meran , Texelgruppe We would like to choose my blood sugar with bread, Bacon, To raise tomatoes and "Gimmerlen". I have indeed like any host of the refuge something earn, But if there is no one up here, what you want machen….

On the top of the gingerbread on the Tallner Alpine pastures in the Hirzergebiet

The honey is with its 2.698 m only slightly lower than the Hirzer. So I am joyful cheer, that we the "Worst" (is to say of course the strongest) have behind us. The best wife of all sees all things differently. You look at the Ridge, the we need to to the Hirzer over, and is quite nervous. Fortunately, your concern is unfounded. The comb, which of the honey from seen quite dangerous has ausgeschaut, is rather broad and relatively unproblematic.

12.00 Watch , We achieve that we Top notch. Here we encounter the European walking route E5, by Lake Constance on the Tallner pastures to Meran 2000 further leads to the Adriatic Sea. Links we can look to the Alpine pastures of Hirzergebietes down, While we see the Sarntal right.

The last ascent to the Summit of Hirzer is about Rocky, but little exposed terrain. Therefore, we both achieve peace of mind, but puffing the cross.

Hirzer, highest mountain in the Sarntal Alps

We already have eaten, therefore now only is photographed and slightly drunk.

At the Summit of the highest peak in the Sarntal Alps at the Hirzer

We come with a Tyrolean village and his girlfriend or wife (a Harrow Talerin) in the conversation. The village of Tyrolean may appoint all peaks all around. Annoying, that my brain for something like a pasta strainer works. I can now no longer fully reflect. I must manage with research.

View to the East, We turn ourselves in a clockwise direction: of the Texel group of the Ötztal Alps to the Zillertal Alps : Texel group with the Brave farms (are of course no mountains), Brave pointed, High white (3.280 m), High wild (3.480 m), Seelenkogel (3.475 m), Becherhaus (with 3.197 m highest refuge of South Tyrol; can you see of course not directly from here), Snow top (3.170 m) and Hochfeiler (3.511 m), He im already in the Zillertal Alps. Forgot some mountain peaks. What a pity .

The descent is to. First down to the upper notch and then straight only steep, then two snow fields, via gravel through the carpal boiler Hirzer with honey and finally on Alpine pastures down up to the Tallner Almand the Hirzerhütte. Since I the World Cup quarter-final Germany - Argentina not to Miss, We are not a, but go directly easily up to the mountain station of the Hirzer cable car.

To 14:50 We leave clock, as already in the morning, floating the beautiful Hirzergebiet.

A great Hiking area also for walkers. Mid-June, due to the almost nationwide blooming alpine roses, certainly a very special landscape experience. The Val Passiria will see us this year more, This is already sure. Then perhaps also the rear Val Passiria
