To whom it may concern
Hello, dear mountain lovers!
A stroke of fate in the summer of 2013, which left me in a wheelchair for a short time, the death of my father in 2020 and the global catastrophe shortly afterwards led me back to Iseltal after 31 years.
After my pilgrimage in summer 2021, my body, mind and soul want gradually decide to relocate to Prägraten am Grossvenediger.
My goal:
THIS BOOK
"If you want to reach the summit, you have to be able to cross valleys" Author: Spencer Johnson
In the following I offer you a colorful portfolio of hikes including my impressions, which are located in the area of the Iseltal and Gschlösstal - mainly from the hiking village Prägraten am Grossvenediger - up to altitudes of a maximum of 3000 hm.
Based on my experience, I had decided to climb the high mountains alone, but only including the red-marked paths.
In my opinion, paths marked in black should only be climbed with prior climbing training or a mountain guide.
As a fan of the Venediger Bergführer -
www.venediger-bergfuehrer.at - I like to refer to high alpine tours including glacier adventures.
