Trip Summary

We took the cable car from Hirschwang, west of Reichenau, to get up to Rax. While the approach to the cable car was gray, wet, and cold, we really appreciated being lifted above the clouds by the cable car! Nice! :-) Above the clouds and above the tree line, we hiked across the heights of Rax to get to Ottohaus and Jakobskogel. There, we enjoyed amazing views from the upper edge of the high cliffs of Rax, overlooking an ocean of clouds beneath us. After enjoying several hours on the sunny heights, while we knew that the day in the plains was way less pleasant, we eventually returned to the cable car and back down to our car.
