After we visited the bordercrossing Feldkirch - Binza we had a good diner at Gasthaus Rössele in Schaan (LI) and moved on to Malbun (LI) were we stayed in hotel and Falknerei Galina, and prepared us for the hike, next day, up the Naafkopf.

Malbun is situated at 1.602 mtr and first we take the Sareisjoch skilift to 2.000 mtr.

If we expect mountain hiking is just one way up and one way dow, then we here will be disappointed.

From the bergstation (2.000 mtr.) we hiked to the Augstenberg at 2.359 mtr.) but than we descended to 2.108 mtr. to the Pfälzerhütte. It took us about 2,5 hrs. Here we had a little rest and we prepared for the final destination: the tripoint or top of the Naafkopf at 2.570 mtr. So the last part to bridge was from 2.108 until 2.570 mtr, an increase of 462 mtr.

One did this in only 1 hr, some needed 1,5 hr.

For Wilma and me it was our last of the 9 tripoints of Austria, in which we consider the tripoint in the Bodensee as unattainable, also because there is no agreement on where this three-country point is actually located,

and yeah! we made  all  ;).

But than we hiked back to the Pfälzerhütte, couldn't make it back to the skilift and hiked back from the hütte to Malbun.

Hiked back, can insume that we only went down from Naafkopf 2.570 mtr to the Hütte at 2.108 mtr and down to Malbun at 1.602 mtr.

We all were very surprised that after the hütte we went down and than have to climb again, climb, at that time a not tollerated word, but we had to at 18:00 hrs, after starting at 08:30 hrs........ .

Lucky us, we were euforisch about making it to to the top, to the tripoint!

Yeahhhhhhh!
