August 31, 2025,Sextener Dolomiten 🇮🇹 - Kreuzbergpass zum Rif. Rudi entlang der Rotwand

Due to the heavy rain of the past week, at times it felt like we were climbing a narrow stream. Numerous bunkers along the path bear witness to …

We started in the parking lot at the Kreuzberg Pass.
The path led us straight uphill. After a short forest path, we continued on a great, narrow path - along the slope of the Croda Rossa, a beautiful view towards the Carnic Alps, where we …

Initially over scree and gravel, with magnificent views of the mountains, the ascent leads to the Rotwand meadow. This hiking area is especially popular with families, as it offers many highlights for children. After a break, we descended back down to …

Exhausting but great lap, it wasn't planned that extreme, but it was more exciting that way.
I could bite my ass today, this morning accidentally deleted my round 3 peaks to the Bülejochhütte, I'm totally angry. 😩
