The track to the hut is (in principle) medium easy, but leaving on Friday I won't be too slow and it will be dark!</p><p>We'll come back on Sunday, June 17th late afternoon.<br></p><p>Just sign up (give some hints, what you are up to...) and I'll sort something out on Thursday noon.</p><p>sign-up closed... organizing the trip...</p>
