Jochberg, Sintersbach-Wasserfal, return via Wildalm
Austria
Distance 12.5km Climb 450m
Friday 23 August 2013


Leaving the Hotel Edelweiss with our sandwiches and packed lunch, Anne had decided that we would take the local bus to Jochberg, where we would start today's walk.  We got off at Alte Wacht and took the path along route 20, north.


After just over 1km we turned right, south east, along route 713.  At a bend in the track you could cross the stream and take a path beside the stream or as we did follow the track through the wood.  It was in the same direction.  This was a gentle climb along a wide track that took us up into the woods.



After about 1.5km the track and path joined again.  This was now a route numbered 3, 4 and 16.  We continued on up the road approx 300m to a road track junction.  We took the rough stone track in a south easterly direction.  After a futher 100m the track split with route 3 moving east on the north side of the stream Sintersbach.  To the right route 4 and 16 crossed a wooden bridge and travelled the south side of the Sintersbach, we took route 4 and 16.


The path took a twisting turning steep path through the woods.


At a junction we turned left, north east, and we could now hear the force of the Sintersbach-Wasserfal.


At the bottom of the falls there were a number of wooden platforms to stand and watch the falls.



We took a number of photos, as we crossed a wooden bridge onto the north bank.




A steep climb north west and we reached the junction with the route 3.  If we had turned left, west, we would have reached the junction where we had crossed the wooden bridge.  We turned right.


On the road up to the Wildalm we could see the Kleiner Rettenstein and Schwarzkogel in the distance, yesterdays walk.  Today's walk was a lot easier.


We stopped at the Wildalm for a drink and a piece of Austrian Kaisers schwalm (mess), before walking back down the road.




We walked back into Jochberg.


Back at Jochberg we arrived just in time to catch the bus back to Kitzbuhel.  Then back to the Hotel Edelweiss for tea and cake.  We had walked approx 12.5km with approx 450m climb.  A lovely day walking.
