I miss the Alps and hiking with my dear buddies. So here I am back from the south to breath some Autumn feeling in one of the best locations where to appreciate it. Let´s go to Eng before the winterpause starts end October and bus connection is deleted ;)
Great Maple Grounds” with the mighty mountain backdrop of the Karwendel Mountains is a vision to enjoy there. It is not unusual to find painters setting their easels up here and get inspired from it.
Who from the Engtal approaches the route to Hahnkampl, experiences a very varied mountain tour in the midst of a magnificent Karwendel landscape. Already the approach over the Binsalm to the saddle is designed with close views of the Gamsjoch and the Lamsenspitze very attractive. At Binsattel, the view of the neighboring Sonnjoch and the Falzthurntal opens up. The promising tightrope hike to the Hahnkampl peak is very entertaining, the crossing to the western Lamsenjoch still holds a more demanding passage. Here is the sure-footed and giddy-free goers in demand.
Lamsenjoch and it is only a few minutes to Lamsenjochhütte. After a rest at the hut, we descend a few meters into a grassy basin and across a rugged terrain we reach a marked trail. We continue mostly on the south side just below the ridge. Soon, however, the climb continues directly on the grassy and some easy scrambling grade I is announced till we reach the Schafjöchl summit. The views to the huge rocky Lamsenspitze massif from the Schafjöchl ridge are impressive! I was there a coupld of Autumns ago and would like to get there this time from anouther route visiting also Hahnkampl peak :)
From here we go back to Lamsenjochhütte and we take the way down to Eng Alm.
