Mountains, Marmots and a goat

[salad]

Hi

I just got back from a very pleasant overnight hike with my brother-inlaw . Than plan was to hike up to the Schrecksee lake ( just under 2000 metres ) and sleep there then hike from peak to peak today which is what we did .
The English translation of Schrecksee is "Scary Lake" which is a good name for is as it has a dark and mysterious feel about it .

I thought I would share some photos . I took a few of them but my brother in-law took most

On the way up

Coming into our destination for the night

Home for the night was a tarp and bivi bags

The next morning had a moody start to the weather but soon brightened up

Saw some Marmots on a small ridge and had the chance to try out the supper zoom feature that I recently discovered my camera had (after 2 years of owning it)

And on the way down

Those pics remind me of my younger years marching through the Austria Alps with my parents. I really wish that one day I could afford to travel again to Hinterbichel! Lovely photos Salad, certainly brought back some awesome memories for me. Looks like you had a great time!
