Well, I had some "labor day" holidays and I took some time for my own and for my girlfriend.
First I took some care for me.
So on Saturday the 28. of April, group of four guys from Velenje started the expedition to the Austrian highest mountain Grossglockner. We started at 8.00 o'clock in Velenje and traveled all the way to the bottom of the mountain (as far as the road goes). That was on about 1900 meters above the sea and we came there at about 11.30.
The first part of the path was to get to the Stüdelhütte (here or here) at 2801 meters. In the book it said that it takes about 3,5 - 4 hours to reach it. Well, we made it in 2,5 hours.
That was what we planed for the first day. It was very nice weather outside so we sunbathed a little, eat some food (some from hut and some that we brought with us).
The hut was really nice. Well what can I say. They had 7 (yes seven) course meal for supper. and it was so nice that I never believed it is possible at 2800 meters. It was really nice (I'm waiting for photos from a friend to see it again).
The next morning at 4.00 am we started our ascend. It took us quite a while to get to the 3798 meters high top of the mountain. But the surprise was waiting for us on descent. We have never seen such a crowd of people going on one mountain. We had luck that we were really early and had a free path to the mountaintop.
We went down as fast as we could (carefully off course) and made our way back to Velenje.
Let some photos say the rest of the story. You can find them here.
