The Hochalm is only a few meters away from the Geiereck. The perfect place to catch your breath after climbing the summit. Apple strudel and a fantastic view, what more could you ask for?

You can even stay overnight at the hut. There are 20 beds in a small dormitory. Be sure to register beforehand!

The Alpine shaman Rainer Limpöck describes in his books Myth Untersberg and High and Holy - encounters of people and spirits on Untersberg some phenomena that are scientifically so unexplained. This is how Limpöck thinks this is the ... place where "Middle-earth" begins, where the giant devil with his divine powers has shaped, where healing happens, where the sun shines into the underworld, where heaven and earth connect. ,
