Hiking the Otscher Mountain

All those coming to Austria this semester will have the opportunity to hike in many of the most beautiful and serene mountain ranges that Europe has to offer. A personal favorite of mine happens to be the hike to the summit of the Ötscher Mountain which is only about a 15 minute drive from the Kartause. In the summer, one can take a ski lift up part way and then hike another hour or so to the summit. From the tip of this mountain one can see all the way into Slovakia and also glimpse many of the more impressive mountain ranges here in Austria.

As if this opportunity was not enough, during the winter months, the students will have the opportunity to ski on this mountain during the school sponsored ski trip in November.

Here are some nice shots of the mountain during our summit last week:
