(We would need to bring our own electric fence though, the cows were friendly enough but one of them was very big and I wouldn't fancy getting stepped on while in my pit.) No flies to speak of and no horseflies.\n<p>\nThe path along the bottom of the Braüning wall is not well marked at all at the col end, but mostly is well cairned and the cuts through the pine scrub are well maintained. It could be a useful route for a stretcher party if that was needed in this area. I lost the path again around the Geschwandalm huts (alt. ~1540m) in the multitude of cow tracks but found it again at the stream just below the main grassy area. \n<p>\n<a href=\"/years/2024/images/path-through-woods.jpg\"\n<img width=20% src=\"/years/2024/images/path-through-woods.jpg\"></a><br>\nThe path from there [Geschwandalm ] to where it intersects the driveable track is narrow and not motorable (unless on a scrambler bike). It is an easy gradient and was a 50 minute easy amble to the track.\n<p>\nAt the track there is a wider area a hundred metres or so away (southwards) which could be a gear trans-shipment area and campsite if necessary (alt. ~1380m). There is a busy stream (~ 0.5 litres a second) a couple of hundred metres away. It is clearly a forestry road (blocked by cut trunks in places) and we would need to talk to the forestry people. The track joins the ski-lift tracks below the Löser Hütte and then into the toll road. The other way along the track connects to Bla Alm (signposted, and confirmed by Mark Shinwell) so could be an alternative if we can't use the toll road.\n<p>\nTrack online at <a href=\"/expofiles/gpslogs/2024/PhilipSargent/2024-07-21_geschwandalm.gpx\">/expofiles/gpslogs/2024/PhilipSargent/2024-07-21_geschwandalm.gpx</a>.\n<p>\nADDENDUM 26th July:\n<br>Bing <a href=\"https://www.bing.com/maps/?cp=47.6652%7E13.763353&lvl=17.6&style=h\">aerial photos show the forestry track</a> and much of the path from Geschwandalm, it shows that the track does not go to Bla Alm at all, but apparently ends only about 150m beyond where the path joins it.\n<br>",
