The summer heat has also arrived in Kleinwalsertal, albeit probably on a different level than in the big city. However, since I can certainly go swimming in Vienna, but mountains are rather scarce there, I decided not to visit any open-air swimming pool. Instead, I took the bus to Baad, the last village in Kleinwalsertal, and explored different side valleys from there.
My hikes from Baad: Widderstein circuit in blue, Derraköpfle circuit in red, Grünhorn summit hike in green
