In the sunshine we went up to the Watzmannhaus at 1930m. Unfortunately, the weather deteriorated rapidly and soon we made our way through a lot of rain. But the play of clouds was indescribable! ☁️🌧️

Today we had to climb up to the Watzmannhaus 1930m above sea level from Ramsau. The climb can actually be described as difficult. It started immediately with gradients of 20% to 28%. At the Mitterkaseralm 1408m above sea level we had a round of cold drinks. There, due to the children's level of exhaustion, we decided that I would climb …
