Trawiesalm

Highlight • Natural

On the way from Bodenbauer to Hochschwab you will pass the wild and romantic Trawiesalm at 1,240 meters altitude. The mountain massif in front of you is framed by the green forest and the meadows - a great backdrop.

G'hackte Climbing Route

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Now it's time for a hack: The real via ferrata is about 250 meters long. It is very well maintained, the iron staircase has been renovated and the rope safety device is in top condition. If you look closely, you can still see parts of the old wooden staircase. After the stairs we continue on so-called block terrain, ropes and railings give you a hold. If you arrive at the butcher bivouac, then you have mastered the hack. From here it is about 30 minutes to the summit.

Fleischer Bivouac

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The butcher bivouac is a simple emergency shelter made of metal. It is on the way from St. Ilgen to the Hochschwab. If you get caught in a thunderstorm, the bivouac offers a short shelter to wait for better weather.

Hochschwab Summit

Highlight • Summit

Here you stand on the highest mountain in the Hochschwab Group, 2,277 meters above sea level. Sit next to the large summit cross and let your gaze wander over the surrounding mountains. When the visibility is good, you have a stunning panorama.
