Back on the bike, as it is Tuesday once
again. The weather seemed to be rather mild with us today. There was
a torrential downpour in the afternoon, but by the evening the sky
had cleared up a bit.
Set of with Nico towards Obere
Reuterwanne, as I have not been up there yet this year. Also a rather
short tour, as my apprenticeship is nearing its end and the exams are
looming closer.
To Gschwend via the back way and I
finally managed to get up the short steep hill near the beginning. A
first on my side. Through Gschwend, Reichenbach and then up past the
Haslacher Alm. After the Alm up through the forest, where we were
chased by a cuckoo (it was timed, it “cuckooed” every two
seconds). The sky was getting a bit overcast and there where a few
drops of rain here and there, but not something marginal. Passed two
biker coming down, the first we had seen up till now.
Reached the Obere Reuterwanne and had a
super view towards the Grünten, the “Gurdian of Allgäu”. Rain
was moving in from the north, creating an brilliant picture with the
sun shinning through the clouds. Carried on to our panorama point,
but went right up the mountain, to the end of the ski lift. Low and
beholds, what did we find? One of Amisols (AllgäuDSL) mast. That
road was probably built there for a reason, but you would need
something akin to a chain driven vehicle to get up there. Did a few
pictures at the top and then went back down past the Unter
Reuterwanne Alm. The rain had caught up with us at that point, and we
where a showered on the way down in cold rain. Me twice as Nico has
no mud guards and was in front of me. Reached the bottom (saw a
rainbow) and went to Wertach, where the roads weren't even wet.
Around the Grüntensee, taking the wood chip path (sucks out your
stamina) and back home to Nesselwang via the bridge that spans the
Wertach.
