At the Geiersteinen there are various climbing routes and you can also find climbers there.
It is worth to circle the Geiersteine and above all to enjoy the all-round view from above on the Geiersteinen!

Since well over 30 degrees are reported from today 🥵, only one thing remained, get out early 😅. If so, it should at least be a sunrise😅I set the alarm clock for 3:15am😈 and went to bed early.

Thanks to @Angelika &🐅(🌠) for the tour template...very nice route, only getting up on time didn't work out for me, but definitely at some point.
Started just before 8 a.m., back at the car just after 10 a.m., it was quite hot then....🤯🤯🤯
