Trail Reviews
I started in Maishofen and steadily climbed the 🥾Wallingersteig trail, passing beautiful viewpoints of Lake Zell and the Kitzsteinhorn. The trail became increasingly alpine until I finally reached the 🏔️Schwalbenwand summit (2,011 m) – an impressive spot with a sweeping panorama over the Salzach Valley and the Pinzgau Grasberge mountains. From there, I continued down to the ✝️summit cross of the Schwalbenwand near Maishofen (1,895 m), before taking a well-deserved rest on the descent at the cozy 🛖Kammeregg Alm. The return journey took me back down to the valley via the 🥾Kammererweg trail. Overall, a challenging but beautiful tour with around 1,250 meters of elevation gain – for me, the perfect mix of endurance, panoramic views, and a stop at a mountain hut.
