    Schöne gemütliche Wanderung in den Kessel ins Wimmertal. Zurück geht es etwas spannender durch den abenteuerlichen Wald samt tollen, bei dem heissem Wetter kühlen Wasserfall.

    Diese Wanderung war für unsere Verhältnisse ziemlich anstrengend. Zuerst mit der Bahn nach oben. Der Aufstieg zum Gipfel des Isskogel war dann an einige Passagen schon ziemlich steil. Oben wehte ein scharfer, ziemlich kalter Wind, obwohl es im Tal richtig warm war. Tipp: zusätzliche Weste oder Jacke mitnehmen. Der Abstieg über das Krummbachtal war beeindruckend aber auch sehr anstrengend. Die Jausenstation Krummbachtalrast nach dem Abstieg aus dem "Felsenlabyrith" ist empfehlenswert

    Wir haben heute diese Tour gemacht. Start war in Königsleiten, daher kamen noch je ca. 2.5 km Hin- und Rückweg dazu. Die Runde um den Stausee ist gut zu Gehen, die Einkehrmöglichkeiten sind ok. Vom Wetter her hatten wir viel Abwechslung, zuerst Sonne, dann innerhalb kurzer Zeit Regen mit etwas Gewitter, gleich danach wieder Sonne. Die Ausblicke auf die beiden Gletscher Seekarkees und Wildkarkees variierten durch die verschiedenen Wetterereignisse, mal fast grellweiss, dann dunkelgrau.

    Wir machten die Tour bei herrlichen Sonnenschein und großartigen Panoramablick. Der Weg führte über eine "Autobahn" bis zu Rosenalm. Für die Wanderung sind Halbschuhe ausreichend. Für GC Freunde bietet sich an die Tour an der Rosenalm zu starten und den Multi Schmankerl Weg (GC3TPND) mitzumachen. GC3TPND
