Rock crevices at Plombergstein

Highlight • Gorge

The rock crevices arose from a rock fall on the Plombergstein a long time ago and form some small caves, gorges and narrow passages that are especially exciting to explore with children. Not suitable for prams. There are numerous climbing routes and the Staffelgraben with a stream on the Plombergstein.

View of Wolfgangsee and St. Gilgen from Plombergstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of St. Gilgen, Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding mountains. Easy climb on the east side. Relatively steep on the west side with many wooden steps and metal stairs. No retreat, but some seating at the hut. take a snack with you. The stone clefts are also interesting and fun for children to scramble through.
