ritten (renon) ~ rittner horn ~ würzjoch ~ dolomiti ~ south tirol

we have spent really nice time visiting friends and hiking in the ritten (renon) area in south tirol (südtirol, alto adige) close to bozen (bolzano)

we didn't have such a nice weather like in july 2016, but still nice enough to hike + swim + enjoy the beauty of south tirol's landscape. our stops this time were:

• oberinn - gasthof mesnerwirt: really quiet place, tasty pizzas + nice service people, just my bed was too soft, hmmm ...
• rittner horn (2260 m)
• lake wolfsgrubnersee
• klobenstein
• st. pauls
• earth pyramids (erdpyramiden) in lengmoos
• mythical + mystical kob church / chapel (kobenkirchlein) in lengstein was very difficult to find. we had huge luck as there was one soul to ask (a really old local guy)
• lake völser weiher below the schlern massive 
• würzjoch (1987 m) below the petelkofel peak (2875 m) in the dolomites area (dolomiten, dolomiti)

and yes, there is no bad weather out there, just bad clothes, you know? well, i spent big part of today's rainy sunday uploading pictures => enjoy south tirol's beautiful landscape:
