Stairway to Reichenstein

Surefootedness required - not a big challenge for experienced people. You can also bypass the stairs on a hiking trail (follow the signs).

From the "Präbichler Hof" we walk along the marked path through the Grübl upwards and over several steep steps to the Rösselhals (1770m), from here we continue in a southerly direction over the uphill ridge to the so-called "Stiege"

A lot of people wanted to go there today, including us 🤩
The hut is closing for a while and is being rebuilt. Fantastic panoramic views all the way to the Dachstein...
