Approach trail to the Lindauer Huette (hut) in Austria Coming from the cable car, 1900 m asl Alpine flowers and a small butterfly (you see it?) “Three Towers” (Drei Tuerme) in the background Lindauer Huette on the left side Close-up After a lunch we continue – the signs indicate the distance in hours (Std. = Stunden) My new pack (Seek Outside Divide 4500 with some mods) First snow patches close to the trail but still some flowers Now the trail is 100% snow covered The steep trail to the Three Towers is also snowy – too dangerous Remainings of an old stone hut from the 19th century, built as a shelter for tax-collectors A view back Our trail gets steeper – “LH” = “Lindauer Huette” pointing backward Grass and flowers again close to the top The “Drusator” at the Swiss border (Schweiz = Switzerland) Looking into Switzerland and walking down at the Swiss side Finally: the Carschina hut below the Sulzfluh mountain with home-made fresh bread, a hot soup and a cold beer Plenty of water everywhere, potable as is Time to set up the tent Allowed in Switzerland, other than Austria and Germany Breakfast next morning at the hut before the way home
Just found some photos from 2003 when I summited the right (big) of the Three Towers. It was nearly the same time in the year (July 4th), but only few patches of snow left.
