- Graefimattstand - Stanserhorn 3h 45m (going back again)
- Graefimattstand - Grafenort 3h 30m
- Graefimattstand - Storeggpass 1h 45m
- Graefimattstand - Eggen 2h 25m
- Graefimattstand - Melchsee-Frutt 6h 25m
Continuing to Schluchberg at 2106m - the highest peak for today, the sky is still overcast and very windy.
Eventually reaching Wagenleis, a very difficult passage to hike through, no walking sticks coming into the way, no photos either, but actually using both hands to climb for apprx. 30m - ropes help, but with heavy backpack this is challenging, the backpack hardly allows to go through some steep and narrow passages.
Afterwards again easier, and a nice meadow to camp, but we decide to continue together near Storeggpass, where we pitch our tents on the small spot.

Yesterday was a long day, and more demanding than expected, so a good sleep was required; my hiking comrades didn't sleep so well, but we decided to continue.
Blue sky and almost no clouds anymore - ideal hiking weather.
Some distances:
- Storeggpass - Grafenort 2h 20m
- Storeggpass - Oberalp 3h 15m
- Storeggpass - Wizweli 4h 10m
- Storeggpass - Stanserhorn 5h 45m
- Storeggpass - Wiesenberg 5h 20m
- Storeggpass - Melchsee-Frutt 4h 40m
After apprx. 1hr hike, the couple decided to pitch their tent and insert a restday, whereas I continued.
The route was slow, meaning, uneven path, either big stones or soft underground from the cow herdes, eventually reached Unter- and then Oberstaffel, and a bit further I found a nice spot to pitch the tent.

I inserted a restday, also to plan next hike as a follow-up of this one, but the weather situation changed to south-west winds and thunderstorm, and this morning I was greeted by rain until ~10:00.
Thunderstorms approached late afternoon, with dark almost black clouds, early night the thunder was only to be heard from the distance.

While descending to Lungern, I noticed a passage where trees were growing on rocks, and in a way one could see the roots on top of the rock which otherwise would be in the ground - an incredible sight of adaption to circumstances or the ground (to be).
That's it.
