| The long walk to Geisspitze is another climax in our Brandnerwanderungen. We start out with the Golmerbahn which is a tiny cable car train. After the train, we walk for quite a few kilometers on Golmer Höhenweg, up and down small mountains, up and down, up and down. Finally you get to the path that runs along a ridge with beautiful flowery fields on our left, past the Wilder Mann (a mountain on our right) and we arrive at the pass that looks down into the valley to the south where you clearly see the Lindauerhütte, which we went to in 1981. We have lunch at the ridge and then we make it up along the very narrow ridge that leads to the peak of the mountain. Our first time on this walk, before I had learned to wear light undersocks to spare my feet, I couldn't make it up because my feet were too sore. I had lunch, took pictures of Lindauerhütte, the fabulous mountains called 'die drei Türme' and of John going up and coming back down. I waited for a good half hour until he got back down. The way back we (at least once) walked down into a valley with Murmeltiere (groundhogs) and hurried on to make it to the last train down into the valley. We were running the last time with thunder clouds amassing behind us and finally a cloudburst and thunder. But this time we were in a valley and it didn't really bother us. |
