Today we decided to do another guided hike. Too good an opportunity to miss. It was off to a near-by ski-ing area called Kuhtai. The bus dropped us off at Marlstein at 1748m and we did a hike to the summt of Faltegartenkopfl at 2184m, down to Feldringalm at 1888m for lunch and then back to the bus.

I didn't enjoy today. Heinz sets quite a fast pace and does not stop often. I don't mind hiking the steep paths, but I also like to enjoy the scenery and take photos. He doesn't allow time for this. Although he does wait every so often to wait for everyone to catch up. The path was steeply up all the way and even though the elevation gain was not as great as the day before, it seemd to be twice that of yesterday. Or maybe my legs were just tired. However, we finally made the summit, and WOW, what a view!! The Inn Valley. The Inn River flows through Innsbruck, but Innsbruck is not seen in any of the photos here.
