Himmelsreith Cave

Highlight • Cave

I discovered the cave from the path and took a closer look, you can go in a little way. In March it was easy to walk up - in summer I could imagine that the path is overgrown. If you go further up to the left of the cave, you should come to other caves, but I didn't see that until I was down again.

Gaisstein Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

With its 975 m altitude, the Gaisstein remains just under 1000 and is also less known than the parade excursion destinations around Furth, but after a relatively short ascent it offers a great all-round view from its rocky summit. You will meet a lot of chamois here!

Lookout Tower with Ladder

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the bottom of the sliding gate it says 20m. It feels like more. Way up to the ladder and down to the forest across country.

First the most important thing: free parking in Furth an der Triesting next to the street with a toilet just opposite.

Only a short yellow sign points in the direction of Geißruck. After that nothing more. Only opposite the toilet on the wooden fence is there another sign in the direction of Kieneck on a wooden arrow. Before, we walked …

From the hiking car park in Furth, it's a steep climb across meadows (probably cattle pastures in summer) and then into the forest, here consistently on forest roads, until you come to the quite steep climb to the Gaisstein. This climb isn't long but it's tough, the trail was hard to find through thick layers of leaves and tricky to …

It was very warm today on the ascent, an absolute spring feeling. Countless snow roses are already in bloom. A highlight was the alpine character on the summit with a great all-round view and the group of ibex on the way back. A nice tour.

Right behind the last farm through the revolving door in the wild fence and then away from the marking first on the forest road to the east flank of the Gaisstein.
There pathless through the sparse but steep forest to the ridge …

🌄 Gaisstein (974 m)

Despite its low height of 974 m, the Gaisstein is a beautiful panoramic mountain with an alpine character, as it is rocky and almost tree-free in its summit region. It's also one of my favorite peaks when it comes to not going too far out. Unfortunately, Furth an der Triesting is hardly or not at all …
