Another awesome hiking trip for the weekend. We took a train to Bruck an der Mur and a bus from there to Seeweisen where we started the hike from. Only four minutes between the bus and the train left me without food supplies and little water, so the advise for future hikers would be to take care of the supplies in advance (instead of say playing poker the previous night). Well fortunately my buddies Stef and Julia had food and we got water few hours later from a mountain spring. Also close to the top there is a restaurant and few more when you get closer down to the valley. The first hours went by without seeing people, but instead we met a mountain goat who took the incidence quite calmly. Should have guessed that they are used to people who started to trickle from the opposite direction when we had reached the top of the range. The weather forecast for the weekend was gloom and few times we were close to getting wet, but then the sky cleared again thanks to the heavy wind and we got even some sun shine. We reached the "hut" near Hochschwab top almost in time after about 5-6 hours of walking. The hut turned out to be a cross between restaurant and a hoster with modern interior design and prices which were as close to the sky as the restaurant. While having the coffee, we contemplated the chance that we would encounter Saskia who had taken a later train and as we declared that it would be unlikely to see her during the trip (without mobile network coverage), she walks in :)
Well we made it to the windy top an hour later and from there walked for 3-4 hours more for our potentially fully booked hut. We found it before dark, discovered that we would have beds and I had some very good dearstew, local snapsch and bier. Next morning (after night of listening to snoring) the weather was foggy and we took our time with the breakfast. We decided not to go for any more mountain tops, walked back towards civilisation, had a swim in the green lake and were utterly drenched by the thunderstorm just few minutes before reaching the restaurant close to the buss station. Thanks to Stef for arranging the hike!
