Mosermandl top and back to Franz Fischer Hütte

^22-07-25

We have booked two nights at Franz Fischer Hütte, which means we can head out with just light backpacks today to conquer Mosermandl.

We aim to start reasonably early, and actually also manage to set out by 8:20.

We first walk along Zaunersee, and then follow the serpentines up to Windischscharte at 2298m asl.

The path gets more and more rocky, and the views more and more beautiful, the further we get up.

The last part is an actual climb, but luckily there is a fixedly mounted steel cable to help and keep us safe.

At the 2680m high top of Mosermandl we feel victorious, and are rewarded with stunning long distance views in all directions. Wish I knew all those mountains and places… anyway, so beautiful!

Then we ramble back down again on the same path, and this time try Zaunersee for a swim before returning to the hut.

We’re back early, so there’s the chance to try some Kaspressknödelsuppe or Apfelstrudel together with cool drinks on the terrace.

In the evening thunderstorms develop – we get to see a rainbow, and later on far distance Wetterleuchten, and then a proper downpour with lightning and thunder.

We get another lovely delicous vegan dinner, have a revenge in the card game, share some wine and stories, and then fall asleep early.

Day 3 statistics:

8,5km, 740m ascent, 740m descent
