"📅 2 days 🥾 51.3km 🏔 3,164m ⌚️ 23h 10m 🙂 31x FI 😰 2x DNF After long time, I rewarded myself with another adventurous, epic hike towards and across majestic Schneeberg, through paths I haven't explored before. I reserved 2 full days for this trip, starting on Saturday morning in Grünbach, hiking through Hohe Wand to very nice ridge Plattenstein - Katharinenschlag - Öhler - Schober with nice, starry, warm, but windy night in my hammock on the meadow above Mamauwiese with excellent view to Schneeberg. There I continued on Sunday morning with scorching sun above my head, to busy morning Edelweißhütte with short stop for an espreso shot and glass of schiwasser.

"## Klosterwappen and Kaiserstein, via Weichtalklamm ## 🥾 18.0km 🪜 1701m ⌚️ 08h 05m 🙂 12x FI 😰 0x DNF I still have some vacation quota to spend, so I took a day off - to wake up much earlier than usual. Morning walk to jump on REX from Bratislava, Nové Mesto to Wien, Meindling, then Regional Zug to Payerbach - Reichenau, and finally bus to Weichtalhaus. Just under 4 hours of travel, and I'm here, in autumn mountain paradise, hiking alone up and up and up. Met only 3 other hikers, plus 2 guys from staff at Fisherhutte. Descent through Schonleitenschneide and Stadelwandgraben was quite fast, but interesting too. It's a shame that season is over, looking forward for some winter skitour around Schneeberg too.
