Far from the Madding Crowd [Explored]
This farm at Starzelalpe in Austria is situated "far from the madding crowd": it is high up (1678m) at the end of the Duratal, where there are no roads - just trails - to cross the mountains.
We reached the farm on a hike from the Schwarzwassertal, over the ridge and then steeply down to this farm. I'll be posting more photos of this walk later on.
The Starzelalpe farm is really secluded, more than an hour's walk from the nearest village, Baad, at the end of the Kleinwalsertal. The triangular wall at the end of the farm that faces the steep slope behind it is a local way of protecting farms from the threat of avalanches. [Explored on 23/02/2022, #94]
