south tirol, summer 2023

finally, i've got time to present few pictures + insights from august 2023 😇

why so late? i don't have that much time for blogging in summers, you know? why at all? well, especially my two hiking tours from sellajoch (passo sella) 2244m around the langkofel 3181m & plattkofel 2964m mountains and the 2nd one, directly up the hill from lake pragser see, were among my best tours ever 🌞. after that, i was so tired, that on the 3rd day i've decided to 'climb up' the plose massif by cable car up to 2055m and walked just 1-1.5h without any elevation gain to the next cottage ochsenalm (2088m). after some lunch & buttermilk i just went back down to brixen by that same cable car. btw, the highest peak in the plose massif is called gabler 2576m.

i was already at the langkofel in 2022. this time i managed to walk all the way around it and next time up probably to the top? of course, at least the neighboring plattkofel (platt = flat) mountain at 2964m would be possible to reach with my skills, condition & my attitude ... heaven & hell, 2964m? thats the same height as the top of germany = zugspitze. but for the the summit tour to plattkofel / langkofel i would need to stay somewhere close there for the night. why? well, from our traditional 'base camp' neustift monastery is the journey there and back too much for a 1 day tour, unless i would wake up at 4 or 5 o'clock 🕟
