Today the right warm would actually Weather for a hike to the Spronser Lakes be. This magnificent Mountain lakes in the Texelgruppe above Meran , Dorf Tirol and the Brave farms We wanted to bewandern long time.

Spronser Lake: Lake

With the Cable car Hochmuth (Out and return 6 Euro of Südtiroler AVS members, Non-members pay 8,50 Euro ) We drive on to the brave farms 1.360 m up. From the mountain station of the Hochmuthbahn We climb steeply to the Gasthof Steinegg upwards . Almost exactly a year ago I was here for lunch food. At that time with friends without the then best friend of all. We are at the time from the valley station Hochmuth cable car about the Mutekopf Here too the Brave farms wandered.

Today we first exactly the opposite way and follow a wooden plate, the US walking time to the Spronser Lakes with 2 Hours 40 Displays minutes. The shady Hiking trail, It connects the brave farms the Mutekopf and the homonymous Tavern, is not very steep and easily accessible, Nevertheless you should look on the ground, because it is partially paved with stones.

Mutekopf

After a half hour we arrive at the GASTHAUS Mutekopf (opening hours : Early April to early November no closed) to ask the host, How long he assessment of the duration of the tour up to the Spronser Lakes. It thinks, at least two and a half hours, Signage is diesbzgl. totally wrong. She has probably, because if we up here already half an hour have needed and now two and a half hours to the Spronser Lakes up go, which are then 3 Hours . While this is only a small little more than the wooden plate at Gasthof Steinegg has shown us, but we're faster than the estimated time normally at least to approximately one third.

Slightly above the lodge Mutekopf

Cobbled a now completely with natural stone, part eingezäunten, one and a half metre wide path wandern We the Brave tip (that we however will not climb) opposed to. Tip top prepared is the path but the path paved with normal stones does not suit us at all. Is kinda clumsy, not only because of the walking sticks, but also because you constantly need to see on the ground. The best wife of all is once again fit, pushes me almost from behind and therefore it precedes proceeding.

Turning courage pointed lies ahead. We go flat now but just for one Steep track (No. . 22) next to the Valley, which will take us to the Spronser Lakes, into. Time and again we encounter tables, the space, where we pass, name e.g.. “Verbrennter Pichl”, “s ' Pfitscher Jöchl” and others. Which hike is now as easy to call. We have enough power, to constantly to "ratcheting" (chat). The site is constantly challenging. Before we penetrate us Glockpistol browsing clamp contrary to. A shepherd is obviously working on creating an enclosing fence surrounded a herd goats.

A sign announcing us, that we our first stage almost reached have ten minutes missed until the first of many Spronser Lakes, the Pfitschlacke See . The owner of the Inn Mutekopf was wrong. You need no two hours from the brave header to the Spronser Lakes!

Spronser Lakes

The Spronser lakes are located in the Eastern Texelgruppe largest Alpine water Board South Tyrol . Ten Lakes (Grünsee, Langsee, Milchsee, Kaser Lake, Pfitscher Lake, Mückenlake, Schwarzsee, Schiefersee, Kesselsee usw.) different heights are among the Spronser Lakes. By Spronser Rötelspitze(2.625 m) do you have a pretty good overview of the Spronser Lake, which shall act as giant reservoirs Tirolo and Meran.

Pfitscher coatings is the first of many Spronser Lakes, which we encounter

We is now in the boiler under the Rötl top, bends the Pfitschlacke-See on the right bank, go through from between two rocks, which look like guards of a gate and look directly at the Mountain Lake Kaserlacke and to the Shelter Oberkaser over .

Kaserlacke and managed Alm Oberkaser

Spronser Lake Kaserlacke is powered by a waterfall fed, the of the Grünsee its water is, which in turn an inlet port of the Long Lake has. Around the Lakes there are quite a few more Spronser Lakes: Schwarzsee, Schieferlacke, Kesselsee, Mückenlack, Äußerer Milchsee, Milchsee, Innerer Milchsee. Our current position we can see only the Kaserlacke.

We trust our eyes: some very daring young hiker jump into the icy Mountain Lake into. A cry, a Jauchzen, but they actually swim! We are not so crazy, We make ourselves better before the Oberkaser refuge cozy . Although the summits „Roetl"complete with black clouds is verhangen", is us the Sun in the face. Let us time, drink and eat something, chat a little about the Mountain tour and break back on after about one and a half hours.

Refuge Oberkaser and Kaser coatings

Although we had thought to have more or less all metres behind us, is there now yet again significantly upwards. Right from the waterfall we climb up to the Grünsee, the dam protects from losing its wet content. Left over at the Green Lake, We hike which now Lake contrary to. Also the Lake is protected by a very low dam large block of stone masonry. This gives the possibility, Standing flat on the high of water levels, to look into the sea. A great and not just everyday sight!

The Lake, the largest of the Spronser Lakes

The best wife of all notes to, that already formidable, how beautifully it with us in South Tyrol is and that we, before we try elsewhere in the Alpen our holiday destination set, should explore all angles in South Tyrol. Rather it has!

Continue our hike passes right by the Lake. The two front found vaguely familiar me. "Miasn me do af di Spronser Lakes aur", "to in the to segn", you hear it soon. A Traminer, the hotel Armin Traminer Court with his wife EVI comes to meet us. The two hoteliers make exactly the same walking tour, but in the opposite direction. After a brief chat, We continue walking.

As if giant had thrown stones to, just as the landscape looks here Spronser Lakes. That Hochgangschartl (2.444 m) forced to choose, whether we are a short detour to the Roetlspitze (2.628 m) dare to or rather to the Hochganghaus relegated to.

The Weather looks good, the Summit of the Rötl top is no longer verhangen with clouds. I set myself and we climb up the very demanding path to the Rötl to top. The best wife of all is not very pleased, but she goes with me for the sake. The ascent is a hiker relatively demanding, but extreme except 3 or 4 digits, feasible for non.

Rötl tip of the Spronser Lakes

That Summit cross is reached and already the first drop in the face hits us. What us because otherwise remains as quick to drink two SIPs, to take two photographs, fast something to push fruit down and immediately return to run, in the hope, the rocks are not too fast wet and slippery.

On the Rötl top: in the Meran in the North the Spronser Lakes

We create not quite. The rock is 100 metres from the Hochgangschartl wet and we must put nearly, to descend to the Nick to create. Now it's raining. What to do? Wait for? No above Spronser Lakes flashes to go often and there should be a relatively high tightness on Lightning deaths. Shortly decided we dare to descend to the Hochganghaus. Rain, a Bach rustles the very exposed Steig secured with chains down now. We are so not from sugar, Therefore we are only slightly nervous.

This changes abruptly! Lightning twitches not far from our location in the floor, followed by a massive explosion, Thunder advances the Schreckensbleiche in our faces. Hold or go hands down, asks the shocked best wife from all. Detention, always keep, I reply. The probability of lightning hit or. that the chain, that is often interrupted, struck by lightning, I estimated a lower as risk, without stop Freehand to climb down the path to the brook.

Aua, AUA there sounds suddenly behind me. I need not turn me around, feel even, what it is. Hazelnut-sized hailstones bounce on our bodies. Hands and especially on your fingernails they cause pain at impact properly! Now it's downright dangerous. The “Bach” filled with white Hagelkörnern, It is extremely slippery. Relies heavily on the chain is now provided, to get even further.

From the Hochgangschartl down to the Hochganghaus we will be delighted by hail

After approximately 20 Minutes , dangerous section secured according to the chains, is the spooky suddenly gone. No hail, no rain only or a path with white beads full gelaufener. Better to, still relatively quickly we go down to the Hochganghaus, because we trust the Mountain weather not.

Shelter Hochganghaus

Shortly before the Refuge Hochganghaus starts it again to rain, but this time quite modest. Before the refuge under the canopy is full with Hikers , wait for the rain. We stop by us, decide but relatively quickly, to wander, to achieve the leader Alm. The decision is dead right, the rain warps and immediately the Sun between clouds out peeps out from. It doesn't take long until starts even our completely soaked clothes to dry.

Meraner Höhenweg

The Hiking trail No. . 24, the part of the Meraner Höhenweg represents, is relatively long, but fairly flat. It takes longer than she thought until we Head of Alpine reach . We keep only for two, three photos on moved immediately above the magnificent, but suspended, one metre wide path to the Gasthaus Steinegg and the mountain station Hochmuth further. The Meraner Höhenweg is here at its most promising. I know him already last year, When I'm gone with colleagues in Dorf Tirol to the brave farms and the leader Alm. However it pleases me immensely, to again bewandern this beautiful hiking trail.

In the Meraner Höhenweg by Director realm to Hochmuth

Shortly before our goal the mountain station of Hochmuthbahn it starts again to dribble. The Mountain railway Once we have wait even the railway carrier feels able to grant the exit, What but not long, as the rain to 10 Disfiguration minutes again.

The departure of Hochmuthbahn is a wonderful experience for me as already a year ago, for the best wife from all, due to their fear of cable car rides, rather a small nightmare. Thus it is obvious, that I front, pasting with the face of the disc, stand back while they, between people, with a view to the ground, sits.

View from inside of the cabin of the Hochmuthbahn to the Tirolo and Meran

The walk of courage incubators Spronser Lakes is absolutely recommended every hiker, on foot a wonderful Mountain world would like to explore. I must say but, It would be appropriate, a closer look at the Weather forecast to the South Tyrolean mountain weather to study!
