Surefootedness required - not a big challenge for experienced people. You can also bypass the stairs on a hiking trail (follow the signs).

From the "Präbichler Hof" we walk along the marked path through the Grübl upwards and over several steep steps to the Rösselhals (1770m), from here we continue in a southerly direction over the uphill ridge to the so-called "Stiege"

June 17, 2025,Über dem Nebel muss die Freiheit wohl grenzenlos sein! 😍🤩VLOG

Since somewhat cooler and more pleasant temperatures were forecast for today, we once again leisurely climbed the Eisenerz Reichenstein peak, and Mailo was able to enjoy his well-deserved dog cheese sandwich!

Conclusion: Always worth a visit!

That's sport, nature and industry. A tour with an eye-opening experience, especially when the mine blast can be seen from above and heard 4 seconds later. And yes, when you arrive at the summit you will be rewarded with a brilliant all-round view over the Gesäuse. Who's well organized can carve a bit all the way down (Präbichel) with a …

July 25, 2024,Sturmumtoste Festung hoch in den Wolken - Die Reichensteinhütte VLOG

After a long time we visited the Eisenerzer Reichenstein again.

The weather was very pleasant for walking, especially since the temperatures in the valleys have been pretty unbearable for days.

Conclusion: Always a nice tour and as the saying goes: There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad equipment!

Before the Reichenstein Hut is demolished to make way for a new building, we paid a visit to Mailo's favorite cheese-bread hut. As always, he wasn't disappointed by the cheese bread served today.

Unfortunately, the bad habit of not greeting anyone when hiking up the mountain is becoming more and more common here, and people don't even think it's …

November 8, 2022,Bevor die Reichenstein Hütte zusperrt, noch schnell einmal rauf! VLOG😉

Now that the weather is simply wonderful, at least on the mountains, we escaped from the fog today and made a final visit to Jenny and Gerhard at the Reichenstein refuge.

In my opinion, Grödeln is a must from the Grübl mountain station. There isn't much snow, but the trodden trail is quite icy. We continued over the Rösslhals …
