DAY 4: Franz-Senn to Neue Regensburger Hutte.
Now the weather got even worse!. We hiked in very thick mist on an easy very well marked trail up to a pass then easily down to the Neue Regensburger Hutte. The hut is small hut, has free hot showers and electric heaters in the rooms which we appreciated in the damp weather.

I had previously booked the first four huts via mail . I had planned to stay two nights here to climb the Ostliche Knotenspitze 3100 metres which is a four hour round trip.
