Rätikon Tour 5xPiP

The longer the day, the better the weather, the precipitation has subsided and you can see again where you are going and a few metres further

PIP2: For a short while we had a very special companion, a black alpine salamander.
It is one of the most exciting amphibians, it loves very special habitats,
Even if it does not look particularly dangerous with its black colouring, it should not be touched, as it then secretes a poisonous alkaloid, which causes irritation of the skin or mucous membranes.
Food supply and habitat influence the size of the Alpine salamander, which can be between 5 and 15 centimetres.
The most interesting thing about the Alpine salamander is that the females do not lay eggs, but give birth to two to four young over a gestation period of up to two years.
Its detection is also often difficult, as it has high demands on its territory, which is practically exclusively above 800, to 1000 metres and extends up to 2400 metres above sea level.

Our look back shows us the distance we have already covered today, but we prefer to look forward towards our next accommodation.
