Description

Leisure hikers will love the fact that many summits can be conquered in a route that features easy ascents and descents.

A stunning ridge hike starting from the Kreischberg is particularly recommended during alpenrose season, when the blossoms are out.

The route runs along the ridge, where we can enjoy not only the views but also blooming meadows of alpenrose (from about mid/end June).

On this hike, you just want to keep going.

Complete the first, steep part of the ascent in comfort on the Kreischberg gondola lift (please note the opening times), and start your hike at the tree line.

Delight in the glorious local alpine flora, marvel at the breathtaking panoramic views of the Tauern and the Nockberge, and of course experience the relaxing atmosphere of the down-to-earth mountain huts and guest houses. equipment Sturdy footwear with high-grip soles, protection against the rain, the cold and the sun, enough drink, hiking maps, emergency equipment (dressings, blister pads, etc.) Packing your rucksack properly makes things much easier: pack heavy items first.

Your water bottle should always be stored within reach in a side pocket.

Items used often, such as sun glasses, camera, maps, etc., go on top.
