Oberer Sattelkopf (2596 m)

The mountain where the cross is located is called Oberer Sattelkopf and is 2596 meters high.

The cross on Oberer Sattelkopf has been built in the mid 1940s. These crosses on the summits of mountains have a religious background because in the former times, holy masses were hold at the summits. Most of the higher mountains have a cross on their summit.

The Cache

I recommend to start from the village called Fiss. Take the red cableway up to the top. (You don't need to take this cableway or another one. But if you don't, its a very long way, and it will take several hours just to reach the place where the cableway ends) After this you'll have to walk the last peace of way. About 35-40 minutes walk to the cross and 35-40 minutes walk back agian to the cableway should be enough.

 

Please, take a picture of you in front of the cross

and

Write where you are from in the log :)

Die Cache

Ich empfehle, aus dem Dorf namens Fiss starten. Heir Nehmen Sie die Seilbahn auf den Gipfel (Sie brauchen nicht auf diese Seilbahn nehmen oder einen anderen. Aber wenn Sie nicht, es ist ein sehr langer Weg, und es wird mehrere Stunden dauern). Danach müssen Sie die letzte Ruhe der Weg zu gehen. Etwa 35-40 Minuten zu Fuß zum Kreuz und 35-40 Minuten zurück.

 

Bitte nehmen Sie sich ein Bild von Ihnen vor dem Kreuz

und

Sei nett zu schreiben, wo du herkommst, im log :)
