Grosser Hafner/3076m asl/17.8.2018
Großer Hafner is the highest mountain east of the artificial lake Kölnbreinspeicher in the Ankogel group. A three-thousander suitable for anyone who wants to cross the magic line of three thousand meters. Vesna Dautovic and I chose the Kölnbreinspeicher lake with dam 165m high as our starting point, from there past the alpine pasture Krumpekar and the hut Kattowitzer Hütte to the saddle below the summit Gamsleitenkopf. From there the views became more and more beautiful. On to the mighty mountain Hochalmspitze (which we chose for our next day's venture) and its still large glacier Hochalmkees. Later also to Ankogel, Säuleck and Grossglockner. At the summit very nice weather awaited us and idyllic picture of everything that adorns this world. The summit is surrounded by three smaller glaciers – Wastlkarkees, Rotguldenkees and Lansichkees.

Jože insisted that this time it should be his choice nasmeh

. And he was right.
We had a wonderful trip to the edge of the Hohe Tauern, but at the same time views into their heart. I fell in love with those sparkling rocks, all colorful shades, with a multitude of high alpine flowers at this time, and the babbling of streams that accompany you the whole way, as there is no shortage of water in these parts. You barely cross one, you're already stepping on the grass of another, under which you hear the water gurgling. If you look higher, you notice a waterfall falling over the rocks.

We were quite early, around 6am we arrived at the mountain road, and there was no one to stop us nasmeh

. We parked at the artificial lake Kölnbreinspeicher, where we saw the glowing mountains rising above it. We found the path that led us through a beautiful alpine pasture with the same-named stream to the hut Kattowitzer Hütte. If you only climbed to the hut, you'd have plenty to admire on the way. Soon you encounter the first snow, which you can completely avoid, or use a bit for your pleasure nasmeh

.

At the summit there were open views in all directions, only the highest Great Klek didn't reveal its shape. But definitely the most beautiful view was of the royal Hochalmspitze, and Ankogel wasn't far away either.

It's nice to have a three-thousander all to yourself for a few minutes, and that's exactly what we got briefly on Wednesday.

A trip whose magic you realize to a large extent only the next day, when you recover your strength, and memories of the beauties come to the fore, while the return path from the hut back to the lake is forgotten, where ascents follow mrk pogled
