Alpine Interlude (2) – Ansbacher, 28 July 2018

Well, I’m up to Day 27 of ‘Summer in the Alps’ with photo processing. On that day we left the Adlerweg (aka Kalkalpen Traverse) at Ansbacher Hut – pictured above.

From here we descended to Flirsch, leaving the ongoing path to Memminger Hut that coursed across the steep mountainside to our left.

It was a treat to discover Ghost Orchids on the descent.

Curiously, whilst composing this entry, I’ve just discovered that there is a Cicerone Guide to the Adlerweg. Hence the Kalkalpen Traverse guidebook hasn’t been updated. Curiously, when I contacted Cicerone about an update to my 1986 guidebook they didn’t mention the Adlerweg book though it covers most of the same ground.
