October 7, 2021,Der "Alpgang" (die große Runde) ab Au zur Mittagsfluh (1637 m) und Liegstein

Today's tour took me from Au on a long and crisp ascent through the Berbigen mountain pasture, past the Guardian Angel Chapel and the upper Sattelalpe to my first destination, the 1637 m high Mittagsfluh. Unfortunately, it was almost completely shrouded in fog and the view was accordingly poor.

Nice hike from Au to Mittagsfluh🥾👍.

Over the Berbingenvörsäss further up a steep meadow slope to the "Oberen Sattelalpe" and to the inconspicuous summit of the "Mittagsfluh" ✝️👍🥾.
A short distance back …
