Hairy thing from NZ
After a journey of more than 23.000 km around the world it still looks fresh. Did it fly first class? Thank you New Zealand for supplying me :-)

Hinteres Schöneck 3134 m
Following the gurgling sound of the water from the glacier we went for the Hinteres Schöneck, although I prefer the beautiful melodic Italian name Dosso Bello di Sentro to the sharp German words. 
Most part of the trail was quite easy - if you don't think about the abyss right next to you :-) But the last couple of hundred meters was serious climbing, at least to me as a beginner it felt like climbing, I had to use the hands too :-)
Then, again, it was a great moment on top, above the surroundings.
Reaching the top makes happy, partly because of the achievment and partly because from that moment on it's only downhill :-)
Back at the timberline....
...we took a rest at the Kälberalm, a place where the humans are fenced in and the cows with their cowbells live a happy life..

Hintere Schöntaufspitze 3325 m
It's located in a rather rocky part of the mountains around Sulden. We had to pass the Madritschjoch, then climb a short way up.
Not many trees in sight at that height... A couple of days later fresh snow covered the rock, about 30-40 centimeters, made it difficult to reach then.
We weren't the only ones on top of it, several more groups enjoyed the view during their rest. Some of them even had a bottle of wine as a small celebration.. :-)

The visitor...
...made a show of itself, but wasn't able to deliver the message...probably it was meant as a demand to share my back-from-hiking-pre-dinner-at-the-balcony-in-the-sun beer :-)

Pretty high vista point
The view is breathtaking. But I hesitated to step forward to get more of the valley into the picture :-)
This day was a tough one, we went uphill to the Rifugio Julius Payer, a hut at 3029 meters, in a lofty position. This meant a difference of 1150 meters in altitude.

Moon over mountains
Evening in the valley. Not much entertainment options...besides playing with the camera.
