Description
A crossing of superlatives. From Kühtai we hike through the mountain forest up to the Finstertal reservoir. The gigantic, man-made reservoir looks like a sea in the high mountains. We hike up to the Finstertaler Scharte. The far view into the Ötztal valley is open. The Wildspitze shines in the distance. The high alpine landscape, shaped by glaciers, shows itself from its most beautiful side - e.g. glacier buttercups in seemingly barren stone desert. The Horlachtal leads us down to the lovely landscape around Niederthai, which was once shaped by a huge landslide. Marvel - enjoy - recharge your batteries....
