Plans
This one is just too tempting. I've been waiting for good locations in the virgin graticules of either 46,10 or 46,12 for quite some time now. This one is well accessible from Reschen, which one can reach from Innsbruck in just 1h30 by car or 2h30 by public transport. It is in the tri-state area: still in Austria, but only about 50 m away from Italy, and about 2 km away from Switzerland. Sunday, a beautiful landscape with a scenic lake, a nice weather forecast (except for a chance of thunderstorms)... it is on!
