2016-08-13 Alpstein Massif

View from the Hoher Kasten 1800m peak over the Alpstein Massif. Thanks to its curious rock formations, this massif is considered one of the most attractive mountain ranges of Switzerland and a paradise for alpine hikers and anyone interested in geology. In the middle you can see the gorgeous Sämtisersee / Sämtiser-Lake a subterranean draining lake running out through limestone caves.
We did a very extensive (strenuous) alpine hike round tour. An the left side of the picture you can see part of the trail, directly on the ridge.
A breathtaking capture. Fav
