Hiked Schrattenflue on a
beautiful day in the middle of October by first climbing to Mount Hengst
(2,092m) and then hiking along the ridge to Schibengütsch (2,037m) |
|
View to the central Swiss alps
across the "Schratten" (karst formation) |
|
View to the Bernese Oberland
giants (Eigern, Mönch, Jungfrau) |
|
View from Mount Hengst along the
ridge (East view) |
|
View from Mount Hengst to the
Bernese Oberland (West view) |
|
View along the ridge (West view) |
|
View north to the flatland
covered by fog |
|
Hiking along the ridge |
|
ditto |
|
View from Schibengütsch down to
where the (former) hiking trail disappears in the rocks |
|
The trail literally disappears in
the rocks where ladders lead down an old army lookout |
|
Without the flashlight the ladder
was actually in the pitch black |
|
Exit after three sections of
ladders in the dark |
|
Another surprise was the narrow,
very slippery grass path (I now at least know why the trail was discontinued) |
|
On the "Panorama Pass Road" on
the way back, trying to stay as long as possible above the fog |
