Hiking 5:00:00 [2] ** 10.0 km (30:00 / km) +1550m 16:54 / km
Spent the free day in the Kyrgyz Tien Shan mountains. Up from Alplager to Fioletovy pass and then direction Pik Komsomolez, unfortunately, there was a lot of snow recently, so I just went up to the snowline at approx. 3600m. Equipped with an old Soviet map which makes you really appreciate Swiss Topo quality. Beautiful views towards the glaciers and the highest peaks of the range. Alplager was once the pride of Soviet mountaineering, but has gone into decline since...
