Whoever would find such a thing hard to believe would probably start his journey here on the so-called "Buchkogel" in order to take the next mountain path. From there, however, always keeping to the mountain ridges - which of course will not always be the same height, but still always high enough to distinguish from the valleys - and he will certainly reach those Alps after a day's journey on this somewhat arduous path, which mostly divides Styria from Carinthia, on which occasion he needs nothing else, then the laborious journey, and if, by the way, he has a firm foothold, he can count on the fact that within a maximum of ten days he has already reached the nearby areas of our Grossglockner without having to walk over a deep valley. – The Grossglockner, Chapter 1, Paragraph 4
