Worth the walk up to for beautiful views and full panoramas of the surrounding areas. It’s also a very secure summit, so suitable for children as there is very little risk at this gipfel!

Mittagsscharte

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Mittagsscharte is a ridge (comb) in the Untersberggebirge.

It is located between the Salzburg Hochthron (1 853 m above sea level) in the north and the Raucheck (1 891 m above sea level) in the south at an altitude of 1 671 m above sea level. A. directly on the border between Austria and Germany.
particularity

The Alpine shaman Rainer Limpöck describes in his books Myth Untersberg and High and Holy - encounters of people and spirits on Untersberg some phenomena that are scientifically so unexplained. This is how Limpöck thinks this is the ... place where "Middle-earth" begins, where the giant devil with his divine powers has shaped, where healing happens, where the sun shines into the underworld, where heaven and earth connect. ,

Thomas-Eder Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A varied and promising path over secured paths, some of which are blasted into the rock, through the steep walls of the Untersberg.
Starting at the Mittagsscharte over the Schellenberger ice cave and to the Toni-Lenz-Hütte.

Toni Lenz Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Rustic mountain hut below the steep walls of the Untersberg. With a fantastic view, you can enjoy first-class Kaiserschmarrn. From the hut, you can reach the famous Schellenberger Ice Cave in around 20 minutes. From there, a path leads over the Mittagsscharte up to the summit plateau and further to the Salzburger Hochthron.

The hut is open daily from May to October.

There are no overnight accommodations at the Toni Lenz Hut - multi-day hikers hike further to the Stöhrhaus or the Zeppezauerhaus.

Schellenberger Saddle

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Schellenbergsattelsteig is the connection between the Mittagschartensteig and the Dopplersteig. If you go up with the Untersbergbahn, a round tour via Mittagschartensteig - Eishöhle - Toni-Lenz-Hütte - Schellenbergsattelsteig - Dopplersteig - Zeppezauerhaus and downhill by train is best, as you can climb all three climbs (from the Dopplersteig the upper worthwhile part) and saves money one of the awkward descents.

Dopplersteig Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful climb with numerous steps and deep views. It's a lot of fun if you have sure-footedness and a head for heights. I think is one of the most beautiful of the black-marked climbs.

Taxhamer Kreuz (1,560 m)

Highlight • Summit

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what prompted people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads have been erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I wish that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. "
(Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig
in: "Crosses of the way ... Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety")
