From a distance, and even when you get closer, this work of art looks like a real tree that has been weathered. Really great!

The way over the rough ridge is actually a via ferrata and can only be done with dogs that can climb 4 to 5 m safely.

The plan was to climb the Ötscher in the summer.
The long-term weather forecast said that this day would be the coolest of the week with stable weather.
In the short term it was the warmest day, but still with stable weather, so we set off!
