Hi Christian,

You write, part of the fkt's is the mountain "high box". But you weren't up for it when you tried. The way to the top of the Easter fire is somewhat confused. It's not the normal way, is it? The loop at Wengwies Castle is also part of the way?

Hi Alexander,

sorry for the late reply.
Yes, you're actually right - I did miss the "Hohe Kiste" by a few meters. Up the Osterfeuerspitz, I was trying to find water and ended up getting lost in the slopes behind Wengwies (seriously high fences here).

So, as in the end I missed one peak and covered quite a few unnecessary kilometers, I'm planning on re-doing this one soon - as this FKT is just about connecting 10 points on a map, you can chose the route freely.

Let me know if you'd like to join!

Christian.

Hey Christian,

i know that this was from a couple years ago but does that offer still stand? I’ve had my eye on this route for a while, would love to give it a go
