hornli hut
Woke up at 7. Got pastries from the bakery for breakfast and brought another baguette plus ham and cheese.
Walked to the cable car towards schwarzee and got on the cable car at 9. Got off at Furi accidentally but got back on and made it to schwarzee where the hornli hut walk started.
Had a banana and a pastry that we'd bought earlier and began our walk. First part of the walk. Was uneventful, had lots of break because bini was struggling and I wasn't feeling 100% yet. Saw some very friendly sheep at a not functioning chairlift station. They were super friendly and came up for scratches to everyone who came past.
Next part of the walk was a bit interesting. We walked along the metal walkway attached the the cliff which was fun. Freaked bini out a bit. A the end of this some of the veiw grates had fallen off so we had a very small path to walk around with cliff on our right and a scree slope on our left. That bit was interesting. Ah well only went for a couple of meters then the path widened out again. Had lunch at the base of the last climb.
The last climb was a Hell of a lot better than last time I'd done it. I lot of the old path had been covered rocks and new metal stairs ad been constructed which removing the hardest parts which I remember from last time. There was still a little cable bit at the start button that was the worst of it.
We made it to the top exhursted to find the hut open but with a sign saying that the last cable car was at 4:30. Our research had told us it was at 5:00. Had a small break where we enjoyed the veiw and had a banana and pastry. I started to feel weird so we headed down super speedy so that we wouldn't miss the last cable car like yesterday.
It took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to get up but only an hour and a half to get down. 4 hour 15 round trip we are very proud of ourselves.
Made the last cable car and had pizza for dinner again along with ciders.
A successful day, we did it!!!!
