Trail Reviews
Very strenuous ascent to the highest letterbox in Austria at an altitude of 1,955 meters The time is not correct, 1 hour has to be added. Apparently not always GPS reception.
The weather forecast predicted a chance of thunderstorms starting this afternoon, so I set off early today for this magnificent hike and couldn't stop marveling at the overwhelming beauty of the Styrian mountain landscape. 🤩 For me, as a "flatlander," the ascent over the Steinerne Jungfrauen to the Gamsfeldaussicht was naturally challenging. With over 600 meters of elevation gain in less than 3 km, the climb was very steep. I sweated profusely 💦💦 (...but it was also humid 😅) Up top, at the highest mailbox in Styria, I first delivered a few postcards to relatives, friends, and colleagues and enjoyed the heavenly silence and view. The descent then led via the Austriahütte and Brandalm to Ramsau. This tour requires surefootedness and sturdy footwear, and my hiking poles served me well on the descent due to the heavy scree.
Beautiful weather, a beautiful tour with two or three great huts that round off the day with a culinary treat...
Super beautiful...but only for experienced hikers!!! The scree field is not for the inexperienced! You have to be very sure-footed and not afraid of heights.
That was a really great tour with great experiences and views Here's the video https://youtu.be/8Ow5m5XM8F4?si=pfpdID5gr3ebgBlO
600 meters of ascent, feels vertical 🥵, but the path along the Dachstein massif - unique
Super beautiful, with a great view (hence the many pictures ✌️)! I don't think the whole route is suitable for children. There are some steep steps on the way up and often loose rubble on the way down.... Take lots of water (also for the dog/no water at the top) and good shoes (VIBRAM soles say hello 🤪) and maybe poles for the descent 👍👍👍👋
Tour was really OK. Time specification does not match. Was really only a steep 600 m. Then run and continue over scree fields. So actually a great tour with adrenaline 🥾🌄🥾
