The climb up the Plattkofel is particularly worthwhile early in the morning at sunrise ☀️ Make sure you bring your headlamps. In the upper area, you can get lost more quickly than you think in the dark. That's why you should definitely have experience with scree and gravel. A track can also be helpful :)

Great but strenuous climb if you start at the Plattkofelhütte. The view from the top is fantastic. The path also serves as a descent.
