Old Ski Lift – Kalteck

Highlight • Structure

Ski lift is still standing. The slope is still clearly visible. Elevator has been out of service for a long time. A pity. Skiing has always been nice up here.

Riedberg

Highlight • Forest

There's no summit cross, and the numerous rock formations make it difficult to identify the actual summit of this mountain. Riedberg is located in the middle of the forest, so there's no view.

Klausenstein Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The summit of the Klausenstein is densely forested, but huge rock formations adorn the summit ridge. If you like, you can spend some time here. Boulderers can let off steam in any case.

The climb is worth it, not that easy. But when the weather is good you have a nice view over to Vogelsang🤩A bench invites you to take a little break 😉

October 18, 2024,2 Tausender - von Kalteck Klausenstein Rauer Kulm

Afternoon round!
Start at the car park of the old Kalteck ski lift, first uphill to the Rauher Kulm summit, then downhill back.
The round has 2 thousand-meter peaks, the Klausenstein 1048m and the Rauher Kulm 1050m. Often there is a view into the distance.
