Little Europe adventures

Water levels on the local rivers are still pretty low, so Mirco and I choose to tackle the Tennengebirge mountain range instead. A nice side effect is spending a day without the rest of the crew, how have been getting on our nerves quite a bit with their inability to include us in decisions or even discussions.
Earlier than the last days (after all, we are the fit youngsters of the group) we head out and find the parking lot (Unterholz, 1094m) with its very creating parking meter. The first part of the hike leads us on a steep path through the forest. Further up, the forest turns into bushes and the nice soil turns into rubble (dt: Geröll). We can already see some smaller snow fields, but are still optimistic that they won't hold us back.
We cross the first one and can still see enough rubble and rock leading up the mountain. After making it another few hundred meters of elevation towards the first peek, the snow fields become more extended and the rock steeper. We try out a few different approaches, but eventually have to admit that without proper equipment and experience, advancing any further would be unwise.
Although we didn't make it to the peek (Raucheck, 2430m), we are still happy about our mountain day, the views, the adventure and our ability of self-preservation at the right moment. On our way back, we stop at the Salzach gorge (Salzachöfen), which is an infamous WW V kayaking section.
