| Gr Traithen fromUrsprungtal |
So, with my commitment to head north and eventually home,
what did I do? I drove east to Ursprungtal near Bayrischzell. Most people
tackle Grosser Traithen (1852m P1007 – a Major) from the eastern side from
Gasthaus Rosengasse. However I did not want to drive all that way.

| Gr Traithen from Fellalm |
So I set off
from the Stockerhutte car park (820m) on track 658 which winds its way through
the autumnal coloured forest to an alp at Fellalm. At that point it meets track
652 which climbs through the dwarf pines to the summit. With another great view
of the Wilder Kaiser – and I could see that the rest of Bavaria to the north
was covered by an extensive blanket of low cloud. And that later that day I
knew I would be driving under that cloud – oh bother! My internal dialogue, as
I watched the leaves fall off the trees and headed back down to the van, was
along the lines of the old Clash song. What
should I do?

| Bavarian coastline! |
 |
| View of Fellalm |
 |
| Rock dog with lipstick? |
 |
| Wilder Kaiser, again |
 |
| Willow leaved Gentian, again |
