@bergmeister Wow, that must have been one amazing tour, though! I came up via the Rofental, so only had around ~700hm, but I know exactly where you crossed. Before the bridge, you also must have come down past the site of the original hospiz from the 1870s. Would love to see some pictures from 22 years ago...

Ps. There's an ARTE documentary which also features that crossing (and the area around the hospiz):

@toxi From that trip we have unfortunately not the best pictures. I was experimenting with slides, that that went completely sideways. Way too dark. Luckily not all were totally useless, as you can see from this picture. Still not the best, but at least you can identify satisfied people showing off at the front door (after having had some time to recuperate). 🙂

Hochjoch-Hospiz in 2003 with 4 people standing at the top of the stairs, at the front door. The hut is grey with lots of windows with open red/white striped wooden blinds.

@bergmeister Apart from the new railing and some stripped walls, looks pretty much still the same... Thank you for sharing this! Amazing that this house is almost 100 years old! Here's my souvenir from this autumn... :)

@toxi Nice! And yes, that crack in front of the hut comes back in memory very lively 😅
