The small detour from the path is rewarded with a wonderful view of Sportgastein. But a certain level of sure-footedness is necessary

July 5, 2022,Tauern-Überschreitung - Etappe 1 von Sportgastein zum Niedersachsenhaus

My passion for the mountains began many years ago in the Hohe Tauern. I return here at least once a year and two years ago we did a phenomenally beautiful hut tour through the Schober Group. This year we're doing a 4-day tour that has always appealed to me: a small crossing of the Tauern from Sportgastein to Mallnitz.
