Hahnenkamm to Ehrenbachhohe - Fleckalm to Gaisberg - Kitzbuhel - Austria 13 Aug 2012.

Hahnenkamm – Ehrenbachhohe
Fleckalm – Gaisberg and return
Austria
Distance 8km
Monday 13th August 2012

Mostly a cable car day rather than walking day today, but some of the photos are too good not to include in my blog.

From the Hotel Edelweiss we walked to the cable car station and took the cable car up to the top of the Hahnenkamm.  Hahnenkamm 1668m to Ehrenbachhohe 1802m is according to the sign a 40 minute walk.

We then took the cable car to the bottom of the Fleckalm.

We followed a route that then took us to the bottom of the chair lift at Gaisberg.

At the top of the Gaisberg we had our sandwiches and saw the top of a new mountain bike down hill route.  While having our lunch we saw a lad come up the chair lift and ride down the track at least three times while we sat there.

It was at the bottom of the chair lift at Gaisberg we saw some people with a tandem bike, that had a child's seat attached to the back with a child's buggy attached to that.  It was as long as an articulated lorry.

We also saw people working on what will have been stands for the Kirchberg in Tirol flower festival, apparently a big event and public holiday for the area.

From the bottom of the Gaisberg chair lift we followed roughly the same route back to the bottom of the Fleckhalm.  This was an interesting route through small villages and woods.

At the top of the Ehrenbachhohe we spent a few minutes sitting by Ehrenbach-hohensee.  The lake was full of fish, some very large fish.  This did not stop people swimming in the lake, but it made you wonder how they got there.  There was signs all over telling you fishing was not allowed.

After a short while we took the walk back from Ehrenbachhohe 1802m to Hahnenkamm 1668m for the cable car ride back to the bottom.

Then back to the Hotel Edelweiss for tea and cake.

All in all we must have only covered 8 km, the only climbing was in a cable car or a chair lift.  But as I said I want to include some of the views on my blog.
