Kitzbuhel to Oberndorf via Reeth and Return
Austria
Distance 19.5km Climb 110m
Sunday 25th August 2013
The weather had changed today, but that was not going to stop us. After leaving the Hotel Edelweiss, rather than go on to the tops where the weather would be worse and we would have little chance of seeing the views we decided to stay in the valley.
We left the hotel and walked down into the town, by the rail line. We could see the mist coming down the hills.
There were not many people around and we had the paths to our selves..
We walked north out of Kitzbuhel 761m, following the signs to Schwarzsee.
We had walked this route a number of times, as this led to and from other walks.
From Schwarzsee we continued west and headed towards the golf club. The rain was not giving up. From the grand entrance of the golf club we headed north through the club on route 51 towards Reith.
We took a little time out of the rain, looking at an exhibition in the centre in Reith 762m, then had a cup of coffee in a local bar, before setting off again. This time heading east over the main road, the path took us through a small wood on route 56.
There was a little climb before it opened out and we headed north. The rain had eased and we could take of our waterproofs. Even though it had been raining it was still warm. We reached Rettenberg 876 for our packed lunch. Rettenberg is a panorama view point. All around the area we could see clouds still covered many of the tops.
After our packed lunch we continued north a joined route 4, which we followed as it weaved its way north then east down into Oberndorf. Where we took a few minutes looking around and deciding which route we would take back.
We took the path beside the church, which led us down towards the river.
The track headed east towards the river, crossed the river and we joined the Romerweg, then headed south.
We had walked the Romerweg a number of times. We arrived back in Kitzbuhel at the Hotel Edelweiss in time for afternoon tea and cake. We had covered approx 19.5km with approx 110m climb.
