August 20, 2024,Von Eschenlohe über die hohe Kiste zur Weilheimer Hütte 🌞🥾🌄

From Eschenlohe we go past the Asamklamm through sparse forest, always steeply uphill over the idyllic Hahnbichlsteig to the Hohe Kiste with a great view of the Estergebirge. Then we go over a great high plateau to the rustic Weilheimerhütte with delicious food, where we also spend the night :-)
In the evening we experience a short thunderstorm with a …

Since I had to spend an involuntary and expensive night in Farchant yesterday due to a route closure, I took the opportunity for a strenuous tour in the immediate vicinity. A suitable summit was quickly found with the Hohe Kisten.
I chose the route from Eschenlohe, but first stocked up on water and beer at the gas station in Farchant …

From the hiking car park in Eschenlohe we first went along a wide path, then along narrow paths and the Hahnbichlsteig to the Pustertal Jagdhaus, where we took a short break before continuing steeply towards Hohe Kisten. Of course we had to take the Hohe Kisten peak at 1,922 m with us on the way up and were rewarded with …

The second day starts for me at 4:00 a.m., there is a herd of goats at the hut. But I can't pull myself together (at sunrise on the Krottenkopf) and stay in bed until 7:00 a.m.
After breakfast, I go up the Krottenkopf with a few other hikers. Here again a wonderful panorama of the surrounding mountains.
Then I go …
