July 22, 2025,Neukirchen: Frühmesser Rundweg

Today we took the cable car to the top station on the Wildkogel. We went on a wonderful little scenic hike up to the Frühmesser. We had fantastic views of the Hohe Tauern and the Wilder Kaiser range all the way. A fantastic hike.

A wonderful loop in the Wildkogel Arena!

Really beautiful hiking trails, a little strenuous, but not too strenuous.

The Hohe Tauern and, slightly hidden but still visible, the Großglockner remain in view.

At the end of the loop, thunderstorms do gather, although it had only drizzled briefly before. We reached the top station before we arrived, but not the mid-station. …

Today, due to the rain, we didn't climb the Wildkogel until 1 p.m. We had planned to do the Frühmesser circular route. First, we climbed to the summit of the Braunkogel. Then, we followed a ridge trail to the summit of the Frühmesser. Upon reaching the summit cross, we were able to add the next stamp to our stamp pass. …

Today we've decided to go to the Wildkogel Arena. The weather down here in the valley isn't promising. It's a thick soup outside the door. The webcam on the mountain shows us something completely different, we're excited. So we set off, or rather we let the gondola take us up first😇.
I'd say it was worth it. We're blown away. …
