These are from last Sunday, although after last week at work it feels so much longer than that. From Mitterlengau up the Schusterkogel, and then along the rim of the valley via Teufelssprung and Hohe Penhab back down again. The mood is very different here, because while the mountains are about the same height, this is slate rather than limestone,

You really get to see some gorgeous scenary and take good photos too. The ones featuring little bits of snow amongst all the green look like someones poured salt all the way down.

You're right, it really does look a bit like that... :)

Wow, that is beautiful! You hiked all of that?

The pictures don't really do it justice.

I did, but it's really not really all that much... The first and second tour took me a little under 4 hrs for the upward hike and about as much again down, with photo breaks and everything, and I'm not in great shape at the moment. The last was probably the longest (something like 10 hrs, all in all), but was pretty leisurely after the initial upward hike, with only a couple of hundred meters in hight difference down and up again, and I really made it last as long as I could...
