I took the lift up and down. I forgot to end the tour on the way down.
Hiking time is incorrect. This app is very inaccurate.
1.21 hours is just to the summit cross.

Our walking time: 2:43 hours
Today Monika and I are taking it easy. We take the chairlift up to the Ötscherschutzhaus and from there we head for the Gr. Ötscher and Hütterkogel.
After our mountain tour we jump into Lake Lunz to cool off

I have stood on this mountain many times...in all seasons...sometimes alone in the snow. I have experienced many a magical sunrise there. But today's summit was by far the most beautiful!
