March 8, 2025,#689 Sonnleitstein (Hinternasswald, Franz Jonassteig, Großer Sonnleitstein^)

Sunny round with the first signs of spring.

From Hinternasswald on the Franz Jonassteig it is quite challenging but always well marked up to the summit of the Großer Sonnleitstein.
The round is now completely free of snow and some colorful early bloomers and countless snowdrops line the path.

Only the hazel pollen intolerance is a bit of a hindrance.

April 14, 2024,#621 Großer Sonnleitstein (Hinternasswald, FranzJonasSteig, Großer Sonnleitstein^, AmaiswiesAlm)

Repeat of a great round from Hinternasswald, which simply follows the marked path or trail to the summit of the Großer Sonnleitstein.

Down on the also marked variant via AmaiswiesAlm.

The summit region of the Großer Sonnleitstein, which is located in the municipality of Schwarzau, consists of a narrow, rocky ridge. It has rugged flanks and breaks off almost vertically towards the north with rock faces in some cases. Viewed from the narrow sides, the Großer Sonnleitstein shows …

Very slippery, loamy after rain. Definitely sure-footed, we often had to look for markings. Descent the same in green although the ameiswiese is better to go down.

Today's goal was the large Sonnleitstein, from Hinternasswald up the Franz Jonas Steig and down over the Amaiswies Alm.
If I had known what awaited me on the Franz Jonas Steig, I would certainly have chosen the path up and down via the Amaiswies Alm.
The topo shows that it is very steep in places. The problem was that it …
