Birnhorn

Published on 2019-8-7 by Michael Stanton

I hiked up the Birnhorn, having never visited the Leogang Mountains. 1800 meters up and down. I quite liked the steep trail up the south wall. And then above the hut the trail goes through a magical cave/hole, with wonderful scrambling on the final ascent to the summit. I went down the normal way, which was less exciting but still interesting. Basically, I was quite happy and enjoyed the day.
