Hohe Wand 22.9.2010
After last weekend´s rain, the weather is cloudless bright tis morning. After a short flu on Monday and Tuesday, I am on the mend now and strt for Hohe Wand at 8 a.m., walking up from the big curve of the Hohe Wand road till Skywalk and back, afterwards a short visit at the splendid view point at Waldeggerhaus, which I, regrettably short of time, have to do with the car.
After the first kilometer of drive I have to stop for the first time to take in these views.
