Viewpoint on the Hernlersteig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Be careful, you have to leave the secured path and descend a few meters.
The entrance is located at the (only) rest area on the Hernlersteig.
You then walk along the ridge until you reach a ravine, or a peak marked with stones and an iron (keep left).
I like to use this place for photos.
Please note, however, that the descent is extremely steep, you can only secure yourself by grasping grass and branches.
Load your backpack for the descent better at the rest area.
In addition, it is advisable to bring a partner (not just for the photos, P)
Only in dry conditions!

Gmundner Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Cozy hut with good food and a very nice landlady. The camps are surprisingly comfortable, but there are no showers and only one (bio) toilet and one sink with only cold water. Perfect location for great sunsets/sunrises!
