March 12, 2022,Gaisstein – Gaisstein Runde von Furth an der Triesting

On the way to the summit and also on the summit itself you can observe ibexes up close. At the top there is a beautiful view of the Triestingtal and the Schneeberg. On the way back, it's worth stopping at …

While the valley is mostly through meadows and pine forests, the ascent continues through beech forests to finally enjoy fantastic views from the mountain peaks, all the way …
