Ascent with the cable car to the Nösslachjoch (2,231 m). 🚠 Already from the neighboring High Tower we can enjoy a magnificent mountain panorama with Zuckerhütl (3,507 m) or Habicht (3,277 m). 🤩🏔Now we follow a wide ridge path to the Eggerjoch, what a panoramic view - amazing! From the Lichtsee we descend to Obernberg. 🏞

The hike is truly beautiful and the Lichtsee is brilliant for a swim during the lunch break! I walked the trail in 2024 on my crossing of the Alps and have kept it in the best memory 🤩!
