May 31, 2024,Kraxelhuber - 3-Gipfel-Tour

Three-peak climbing tour from the Sportkasper tour menu. Steep climbs in dialogue with wide views. This is served with medium-sized climbing, round in taste and with the bouquet of smoky sandstone in the finish.

Navigation recommended, many branches and paths are not marked.
