Jen and Dave: Adventuring

The day was warm but dreary, with clouds lying low in the mountains and rain in the forecast. A good day for low elevation hiking, so we travelled west towards Hintersee and got off the bus at the Wimbachweg trail. We had two objectives: explore the Wimbachklamm and enjoy our final hut refreshments at Wimbachschloss.

Wimbachklamm was first – a narrow gorge in the river with a walkway to view the power of the water below. Pretty neat.

Climbing out of the gorge section, we then followed first the stream and then the alluvial fan in the valley behind Watzmann. It was a wide, gravel trail – and we learned both why it is so and how they get the beer to the huts, as a delivery vehicle went by.

At the hut we enjoyed beer, a random non-alcoholic drink that was halfway between sparkling water and sprite, and topfenstrudel, which was a cheese curd / cheesecake type filling.

We retraced our steps, caught the bus back to town, grabbed an early dinner, and retired early.
