Audience favorite in the Tuxer AlpsThe Rastkogel is one of the topographically most important peaks of the Tuxer Alps. Various routes meet here, which are generally frequently used. Low alpine obstacles support this popularity, as well as a view that corresponds to the greatness of the dominant position. You can rest up top for a long time and let yourself be captivated by the panorama of the Zillertal Alps (and other Tyrolean mountain groups). A great extra on the way back is the crossing of Kreuzjoch and Rauhenkopf – barely an hour longer than the direct route and an ideal option for less endurance for a half-day tour.

I've long planned to cross the Alps, but the "classic" routes were either too crowded for me or generally only limited in appeal.
So now here is my version of an "Alps crossing" Part 1: From Fall in Germany to St. Jodok at the Brenner
