I live in magic place. Everywhere is tirol huts (home) and a lot of flower. I have a view of Patscherkofela (2246) from window and a view of Serlesa (2717) from second window. Here is the most popular shape.
The weather was fantastic. The sky was cloudless. We met a local cows on Sailenieder Pass (1974). It was so surpring for me. Every hut had an own herd of cows. Routes are red colour. Map is necessarily because signs are placed seldom. The ntaure is different than The Tatra.

Heat and once again heat. Innsbruck is a very beautiful town, clean and full of tourists. I saw Golden Dachl, Cathedral, Park and other buildings. Here is very clean. Nordkette - Seegrube - Hafelekar are mountains range and they are very near town.

It was two-day expedition ;-). We left Kreith about 8 am and we were following towards Sulden/Solda in Italy. Five people took part in this expedition : Me - Magda, Joanna, Mirek, Gerhard and Michael. We were on the spot at midday. After meal we decided that we ascened ski lift to K2 (2330). We wanted to save time and power, because a long way was before us. Ticket price is 8.50 EUR (in 2003 year). We came to nearby Taboretta Hut (2556). Each of us had a backpack (about 12 kg), mountaineering gear : crampon, harnesses, axe, (we need not the helmet). Gerhard had a rope. This rope was used to joined us on the glacier Ortler. We came to the next Payer hut (3029). We wanted to be quickly on the spot, because the longer the better (acclimatization). We had a reservation in this hut (the reservation was made a month early - tel. /fax 0473 613010), the price is 10.50 EUR (price in w 2003 year, for owner of the OEAV (Oesterreiche Alpenverein) membership card was reduction 50%). The hut is fantastic, it has not water for bath, only for clean teeth. It is necessary to buy drinking water (boiling water costs about 2 EUR for 1 liter). I was very glad, because I gave my sleeping bag up. There was bedclothes in the Payer Hut ;-)

We got up very early. The level difference of the heigh is about 900 m. 750 m. is only a glacier. There were a lot of cracks a lot of cracks (the depth sometimes is many, many meters), snow bridge, which we had to either cross carefully or went around. I must say that this kind of mountaineering is not easy and it is not pleasant, take height, snow, crampon, our backpack, rope into consideration. We had to be careful all time.
We reached the peak of Ortler after some hours. The views were fantastic. The peak Koenigsspitze (3859) was beautiful. We counted that the visibility was within a radius of 50 km. We had to go back after an hour. The sun was higher and higer, the snow was softer and softer. We came back hut without any problems. We got rest about an hour and we went down tpwards Sulden. It was a great experience for me :-)

I went to Innsbruck in the morning. I took ski lift. The ticket office is opened since 7.55 am. The price of single ticket to Hafelekar for owner of OEAV 11.60 EUR (w 2003 year) insted of 12.20 EUR. You can find all information on the website : nordpark.com. I went towards Seegruben Spitze, because I wanted to see 'ferrata'. If you want to go this way, you will have : a harness, a helmet and a rope. I went to Hafelekarspitze (2334). I looked down on Innsbruck and river Inn. Rumer Spitze (2454) was my purpose. The way was nice, without significant hills, only the way to Rumer Spitze was a little difficult. I must be very carreful. This place is sentisive to an avalanche.

I came to Axamer Lizum (1564) in the morning. I went red route to Halsl (1992) and toward Widdersbersattel (2262). I was opposite Adolf - Pitcher Hut after some time and I found the way to Alpenklubscharte. Unfortunately, I lost my way and I reached Seejoechl. I had to come back and I saw the way which I lost early. It was too late. I felt tired but I decided to go by my plan. I reached Marchreisenspitze (2620). The weather started changing. Only one peak was to reach - Amferstein (2556). I heard sounds of the storm, the sky was black. I did not what to do. I lost my way and I must went down rock way without any harness or rope. This way was not easy, I had a lot of bruise. I run away before storm.
