Very nice view. The descent towards Gseng is quite demanding, it has to be overcome, among other things, a short via ferrata.

July 14, 2024,Haindlkarhütte über die Gsengscharte im Nationalpark Gesäuse – Made it! 💪

The tour is not without its challenges - and so my first attempt failed. Two years later, I dared to climb a section that was difficult for me. This was followed by other highlights, such as a narrow crevice in the rock (you could also climb over it) and a long passage secured with a rope. The Gsengscharte is definitely …

September 25, 2022,Gesäuse Weidendom - Haindlkarhütte, retour über die Gsengscharte

In the morning when I started it was cloudy and you could feel some raindrops. After a short stretch next to the Enns, a steep path led through the forest, next to a small mountain stream up to the mountain pine belt. It wasn't far from the old Haindlkarhütte to the Haindlkarhütte. After a little snack I made my way …

Today we are following in the footsteps of Wimmberger Brigitte. The legend path takes you stony-rich in the Gseng up to the Gsengscharte (1,210 m) and on to the Haindlkarhütte. There have been new tenants at the hut since 2023 and we received a warm welcome from them and excellent food. With a full stomach we went down to the …

This isn't an easy hike. Even though it only climbs and descends a little over 600 meters, this tour is a challenge. Once you reach the Gseng and begin the ascent to the Gsengscharte ridge, there are exactly three key points that make the whole thing a challenge, making it a difficult mountain trail. But when you finally stand on …
