The wild mountain landscape with relics from the Ice Age appears archaic. The view of the many small and large lakes is unique. Very good physical condition and surefootedness are an absolute prerequisite.

July 17, 2022,#490 Greifenberg Klafferkessel (Riesachfall, Alpinsteig, Preintalerhütte, Klafferkessel, Greifenberg^, Gollinghütte)

The Klafferkessel royal round

A gigantic, beautiful tour from the parking lot at the Riesach Falls on the Alpinsteig Höll up, whereby this section alone is worth a trip (if you dare to cross the suspension bridge).
Once at the top, you soon march past the Riesachsee and then the ascent to the Preintalerhütte begins.
According to the signs, you …

Great circular tour to the Klafferkesseln in Schladming. Climbing the Greifenberg is normally possible for everyone. No exposed areas. Where it is steep or slippery, additional rope or clamps are required. However, you should not underestimate the length of the tour and plan for the whole day. By the way, I was out for 8 hours, Komoot cheated. And don't …

King's tour Kafferkessel
A tour that's quite something. In some parts it would have been good to have a head for heights (that was exactly my limit) and sure-footed anyway.
Started at the Riesach waterfall car park towards Gollinghütte then steeply uphill to Greifenberg 2680m, further down to the Kafferkesseln with lots of small and large lakes. Further …

The Niedere Tauern behind Schladming are big cinemas in terms of landscape. I had no idea…. Hiked for almost 10 hours yesterday. Flat like a flounder. A great experience. Truly a royal tour.
Since the cell phone could not record everything because of 🔋, some accurate recording data is missing. It doesn't matter: I walked to the Preinthaler Hütte from …

I start from the Gollinghütte at 8 a.m. and am at Greifenberg 3 hours later. I'm happy that I'm doing the loop counterclockwise because I prefer to climb this steep climb rather than downhill. The view is overwhelming! The promised change in the weather is already becoming visible: in the west the sky is becoming increasingly cloudy, but the sun …
