Mount Pendling (1563 m)

After working the last months more or less without break, it's now time again for some tours and trips. The last five months will hold more tours and trips: 6 countries and 55 days away. Starting with a day trip to the Kufstein area in Austria and climbing Mount Pendling.



It was an easy tour starting from the parking area in Schneeberg. First, we walked on the forest road but soon were heading deep in the wood on a lonely trail without any signs.



After half an hour, we came to a crossing with a signpost and continued our way uphill and through the wood.  From then, more and more people were on the trail and on the forest road we could see mountain bikers.

After crossing the forest road we made it fast to the cross on the first top where we had a small rest. A bit further is the second cross with a fantastic view on the valley.




Around the next corner, there was the Kufsteiner House (Pendlinghütte) where we took our lunch and enjoyed the beautiful weather.



Downhill we followed the forest road for a while but when that got boring we took a trail and landed on another view point with a bank. After one and a half hours we were back in the valley - just in time to eat an ice-cream before the rain started.
