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.
Steep gravel fields – two steps ahead and one back 
One short snow patch on the trail 
The final ascent without pack 
Got it!
