Diary:

First of all, a warm welcome to Margarita Leeb, thank your for joining us.

After driving for about an hour to the start in Lölling Graben we started off at 7:30. Eventhough our mornings are always strong, this one was spezial, we did the first 10 kilometers and 800 meters of elevation in 1 hour 44 minutes. The view from the Klippitztörl (1642m) was amazing! Being above the clouds feels like freedom without limitations. The rest of the day was downhill from the Klippitztörl to Bad St. Leonhard, on the way we took a few shortcuts through the woods, they were very efficient sometimes... and at times they resulted in sliding down on our bums causing scratches and broken hiking poles. At around 11 o’clock Philipp and Albi decided to run the remaining 8 kilometers so that they would arrive earlier and head back to the start to fetch the bus. In the end it turned out that they ran for 100 meters every other kilometer, but nevertheless they arrived at 12:15, half an hour before the rest. For the first time we could have lunch after arriving at our final destination fort hat day – a brilliant feeling! For the remaining two nights we will be staying at the Reutters house near our final destination Stift Rein, where we were welcomed with amazing Wiener Schnitzel!
