On top of the world

We climbed high above tree line into a Fairytale land of mountain peaks, waterfalls, and wildflowers. We lost our breath as we reached the pass and caught the view of the Dreizinnen peaks and it wasn't just because of the climb. To see such spectacular rock monoliths of that scale twists your mind. You feel dwarfed and awed all at the same time. What a place we have stumbled upon! 
We also gasped at the hundreds (yes, hundreds) of people gathered around the hut. After seeing just a few others on the trail, we were so taken aback by the crowds at such a remote place that we considered leaving. Turns out there is another much easier route up the other side and bus loads of people were there for a day hike and postcard photo. We had secured two bunks in the "lager" (bunk room) for the night so we explored while the crowds paraded down the trail.

  1. That looks unreal, and unlike any pictures I've seen of European mountains. Amazing!
