Hochsteinhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the Hochsteinhütte the biker enjoys a fantastic panoramic view. It feels so close to the Lienz Dolomites and overlooks the entire Lienz valley floor with the capital Lienz and the small villages all around.

August 30, 2022,Kleine Tour ab Parkplatz Hochsteinhütte zur Gampele Almhirtenhütte

Actually, we wanted to hike to the Ehrenwiese. On the way we passed the Gampele Almhirtenhütte. There we met the shepherd. We couldn't resist the invitation to have a chat and fruit brandy, surrounded by cattle and a fantastic backdrop. However, a renewed thunderstorm made us turn back at this point. But all in all a nice little round.
