    Eine schöne Tour. Meine Uhr hat 18,75 km gemessen. Ich habe knapp 9 Stunden gebraucht. Dabei sind 40 Minuten Mittagspause und 15 Minuten Pause auf der Hütte eingerechnet.

    Thanks for the route. It was a beautiful day. A challenging climb, which my 12 year old managed nevertheless, and my older kids took in their stride. Worth noting they only accept cash at the top of the cable car.

    Sehr schöne Tour, wir sind aber auf Empfehlung von „Heimgarten-Dauergästen“ die Runde andersherum gelaufen. Steile Passagen mit vielen Stufen, vor dem Gipfel viele geteerte und gepflasterte Passagen. Je höher man kommt, desto schöner wird’s die Aussicht. Wir haben insgesamt sechs Stunden (reine Gehzeit) benötigt. Mit normalem Tempo halte ist 5 - 5 1/2 Stunden für realistisch.

    Super schöne Runde, viel im Schatten, im Sommer genug Wasser mitbringen, da es auf dem Weg keine bewirtete Hütten gibt (erst Heimgarten). Beim Aufstieg auf den letzten Metern ist etwas Kraxelei gefragt.

    Super Rundtour, durch den Schnee heute aber sehr anstrengend, da man manchmal bis zu nem halben Meter versunken ist. Aber der Ausblick war die Entschädigung!
