Lindauer Hutte to Tilisuna Hutte

image084

July 26, 2007 Clear day. Got up 6:30a and had breakfast. Al was feeling better but still not 100%. We started for the Tilisuna Hutte at 7:40a. The trail left the hutte and descended a little toward a stream crossing in the Porzalengawald, a forest near the hutte. Periodically we could see the cliffs of the Sulfluh (2818m – 9245ft). After crossing through the woods we took the path to the Bilkengrat. The trail climbed steeply up the slope passing through a belt of pine trees and emerged to a stunning view back to the Drei Turme of the Drusenfluh. Continuing on toward the Bilkengrat the steep trail continued for another 350m – 1148ft of elevation gain to the Scharze Scharte (Black Pass) (2336m – 7664ft) (9:50a). The view from the pass included the Tilisunasee which lies below in a green basin. From here it was a steep descent down to the Tilisuna Hutte (2208m – 7244ft) (11:00a).
