Seekogel

I left early at 6.15 am to get down to Landeck, where I got my breakfast and some snacks. I continued to the next valley and ate my breakfast before the next ascent. There I realized I forgot to get cash for the alpine huts so I had to walk an extra km but there I found a public toilet. I started to climb the valley and 4 hours + 1800m (altitude) later I made it to the ridge. After a short break I descended into the next valley where I already saw the hut I wanted to stay. I didn't know if they had any beds left because I couldn't check without the internet but luckily I got one. Then I went to a lake close by and went for a swim like some others too. The best thing to do after a hot day climbing up mountains. Once I told some people, what I was doing more and more people were listening even from neighbouring tables. Later we stretched together and enjoyed the last sunlight changing the colour of the sky.

Leaving just before breakfast I went down the valley to the next village where I connected to Wifi to download my Deutscher Alpenverein club card. Otherwise I would've had to pay almost double the price. I bought chips and a banana and continued into the next valley up the mountain again. I knew there was a rain forecast for 11 am and a storm for 2 pm when someone checked the day before. I knew I'll have to walk through rain but tried to get to the next hut before the storm breaks in. The rain was strong combined with the wind but once I got to the hut right before 2 pm the weather changed and I went for a swim in the lake Rappen, where I was when I first went to the Pitz valley. In the evening I met a nice couple and a family who also were fascinated by me Thru Hike. The husband of the couple had his birthday and just before they left I surprised him with the heart glasses. We ended up drinking 2 shots and half an hour later they went to bed.Read more
