Krumpalm Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Up here you can see marmots, chamois, sparrowhawks and other birds. It's very quiet up here and that's how you should behave.

July 30, 2024,Rundtour von der Hirnalm auf den Eisenerzer Reichenstein

Not the shortest, but the most scenic tour to the Reichenstein. Perfect panoramic view from the summit. Rubble on the paths makes the descent arduous and costs time and nerves

The distance is correct!
