There were of course cables to hold on to when the rock climbing began. They were actually even more needed when you go down than up.

The views from Gemsl\u00fccke were fantastic. The most otherworldly view in my opinion was the green-green Swiss valley towards the west, one mountain dominating the valley, a shock of peaceful beauty. I had never seen greener mountains and valley.

We had walked up and down the first three hills on Golmer H\u00f6henweg when Renate suddenly decided that she would not have any more of it. We all turned back, since she was clearly right.

The problem was that my feet got so sore I could not walk up on the last ridge to the peak After that incident we learned from Renate to wear soft cotton socks inside the woolen socks. It makes all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p>I sat down on the Joch below, took off my <em>Bergschuhe<\/em> and waited for John to get back down. The Joch has a view of Lindauerh\u00fctte down in the valley, which we remembered with mixed feelings &#8212; by the way, I see online that there is now a real sport hotel there, so no more problems with <i>Matratzenlager <\/i>on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Also from the Joch as well as from the mountain peak of course, there was most of al, a superb view of <em>die Drei T\u00fcrme<\/em> (the three towers). This is the place to go to if you want a splendid view of these wildly stunning peaks.<\/p>\n<p>When John got back down, we had our lunch and rested some more. However, the walk was so wonderful and fun that it was, in spite of it all, a great day. It was a wonderfully sunny day and there were quite a few people up at the top of the mountain.<\/p>\n<p>The path to Geisspitze, as I see it, can be divided into three sections. The <em>Golmer H\u00f6henweg<\/em> begins after you get off the <em>Golmerbahn <\/em>with a walk up and down three pretty high hills. The <em>Golmerbahn <\/em>is in<em> Montafontal, <\/em>the valley directly east of <em>Brandnertal. <\/em>It is a gondola lift and then after a sharp bend you change to a chairlift. In 1995 it replaced the cogwheel &#8216;train&#8217; that was there in &#8217;92 and &#8217;93. On your right from this up-and-down path there is a craggy mountain range with Zimba standing out as the center piece.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23810\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a058-aa-B-B-550.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23810\" class=\"wp-image-23810\" src=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a058-aa-B-B-550-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a058-aa-B-B-550-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a058-aa-B-B-550-484x300.jpg 484w, https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a058-aa-B-B-550.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-23810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John at H\u00e4tebergerjoch, and the zigzag path down to the valley is clearly seen.

In 1996 it was at this Joch that it became very clear that a storm was brewing and F&amp;R turned back to the <em>Golmerbahn<\/em> to wait for us.<\/p>\n<p>There is a wonderful field of mixed flowers on your left going, with lots of globe-flowers among them. Globe-flowers are probably John&#8217;s favorite flower, or one of them.<\/p>\n<p>On this path you walk around the base of <em>Wilder Mann<\/em>, a wildly impressive mountain on your right, a bit lower than <em>Geisspitze<\/em>, which is 2334 m. The end of the <em>Golmerbahn<\/em>&nbsp; (first gondolas, then a chairlift) is at 1890 m. , but since there is so much up-and-down walking, the entire trek was quite a big deal &#8212; for us.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n<div id=\"attachment_23813\" style=\"width: 249px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a052b-aa-B-550.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23813\" class=\"wp-image-23813\" src=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a052b-aa-B-550-300x194.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a052b-aa-B-550-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a052b-aa-B-550-463x300.jpg 463w, https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sj93_50a052b-aa-B-550.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-23813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><br \/>The very last climb up to the top of Geispitze.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The third part is walking from the Joch where I sat waiting for John in 1993, while he climbed up to the peak. That last leg of the walk looks much harder than it really is. Sure, you do walk on a narrow ridge, but there is nothing scary about it, as long as you are <em>schwindelfrei<\/em> (no fear of heights). In fact you must be <em>schwindelfrei, trittsisicher<\/em> (sure of foot, as we kidingly call it) &#8212; and <em>ein<\/em> <em>ge\u00fcbter Wanderer.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ngg_shortcode_2_placeholderAll three times we took the lower path in the valley back to <em>Golmerbahn<\/em> from the crossroads where you have a choice between the high road or the low road. Of course you want the low road, so you walk down a zigzag path and then up close to the <em>Bahn<\/em>. In 1993 we saw an entire <em>Murmel<\/em> family (groundhog) who had their home at the very beginning of the valley &#8212; adorable little animals that we have seen many times&nbsp; in Saulajoch and also farther down on the way to L\u00fcnerkrinne from L\u00fcnersee. You hear a bird-like whistle and that&#8217;s <em>Murmeltiere<\/em>. We were able to took at them closely in &#8217;93 with a pair of wonderful light-weight field glasses I had given John for his birthday one year. His birthday on August 8 was&nbsp;usually during our vacation in Brand. The <em>Murmeltiere<\/em>&nbsp; were so funny we watched them playing and running around, coming out of a hole and going back into the hole, almost as if they were performing for us. With a lot of <em>bonne volont\u00e9<\/em> you may be able to see them in my pictures. At least the two grown-ups.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11119\" style=\"width: 367px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sj93_50a034-a-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11119\" class=\" wp-image-11119\" src=\"https:\/\/siv-sketches.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sj93_50a034-a-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"237\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11119\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The majestic Drei T\u00fcrme overlooking the valley of Lindauerh\u00fctte and best seen from Geisspitze.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In 1996 we knew all the time that a storm was coming, and wow did it come! As we got down the zigzag oath to the valley the bottom fell out of the sky. We had by then got our rain tents out from our backpacks and we hurried back through the valley to the top of <em>Golmerbahn<\/em> where Fritz and Renate were waiting for us. There was not just a cloudburst but also thunder and lightning, but it wasn&#8217;t much of a big deal. It was more like fun, running through the valley. We were not exactly laughing though, just hurrying along.
