Self-catering hut near Karlstift. A great place to stay overnight if you're hiking the Nordwalkammweg. The key can be obtained from the hut manager upon request. Contact details can be found here: https://gmuenderhuette.naturfreunde.at/

A really great view from above. However, I would advise against going up if it's windy. There was only a very light breeze down below, but up above it felt like a hurricane that shook you around quite a bit😬

In principle, a great view and a nice resting place. But the radiation from all the radio frequencies that exist gave me a bad headache within 5 minutes. OK, I may be very sensitive when it comes to this, but the whole thing definitely wouldn't have been worth the trip if I had known that beforehand 😉

Many herbs have been planted here and name tags have been added. Great experience to get to know the herbs.
