September 11, 2026,🇦🇹 Stubai Seven Summits – ✞ Hoher Burgstall - ✞ Niederer Burgstall

Today's round can again be counted among the dream tours.

Windy, ice-cold, and unfortunately all the mountains were shrouded in …

Conclusion:
All in all, a very nice tour, mainly on narrow mountain paths (without shade) with a short (estimated 3-5 minutes) climbing passage in the scree field on the steel cable (with step pins or steps) below the summit of the Hohen Burgstall. The climbing passage is not really exposed, but despite this, a middle-aged couple turned back at the …
