Seetaler Alpen, Austria
Zirbitzkogel Backpacking
Our initial plans for a long backpacking lap of Zirbitzkogel were scuppered when we discovered a large military training ground atop our first campsite. Not comfortable pitching up amongst bullet-ridden tanks and shell casings, we retreated to safety across the ridgeline. Day 2 passed much more smoothly, especially with the surprise addition of an open hut serving tea, beer and jausen.
