Pass Thurn to Kitzbuhel - Austria 17 Aug 2012.

Pass Thurn to Hotel Edelweiss
Austria
Distance 16km
Friday 17th August 2012


Today we had decided to do another of Klaus and Veronika's walks that they printed on the daily menu sheets. This was a walk from Pass Thurn 1273m back to the Hotel Edelweiss 761m.  We got up early to make sure we would have breakfast, collect our pack lunches, change and catch the bus.  When we got to the bus stop we saw a number of other couples from the hotel who were catching the bus.  They were staying on the bus for the stop after Pass Thurn, Breitmoos, for a cable car ride.  We would do this the next day.

Anyway we nearly passed the stop, but once off the bus we covered ourselves in sun cream had a quick drink of water and set off.


You have to be careful for the first part until you get on the Romerweg (Roman Way) as the path is right next to the road.  The route is almost directly North, once off the road the path moves into the trees so gave us some shelter from the sun.

We had lunch at Jochberg 923m.  Then walked along the path to Hutte, from here we walked along to the track we had previously walked on the previous Saturday when we passed through Hechenmoos.



    
The path takes us straight back to the Hotel Edelweiss 761m, and we got back in time for tea and cake.  In all we had walked approx 16km.
