A very beautiful view halfway along the trail. It's a good place to take a short break.

The final climb to the Geierkogel requires a certain amount of surefootedness, but you'll enjoy magnificent views!

Geierkogel

Highlight • Summit

You reach the 2,231 meter high Geierkogel via a narrow summit ridge, which requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. The summit cross stands directly on the steep cliff that drops into the Braunkar. Wonderful all-round view!

Wandergruppe Rapunzel
August 12, 2021, Hohentauern - Geierkogel (2.231m) - Hohentauern

Unfortunately very bad route marking on site and Komoot navigates over the ski slope (extreme slope). Overall, however, a beautiful and demanding tour.

As you can see from the route, once taken the flat way. At the ski lift, the forest path continues straight ahead. This seems to be relatively new, however, because it has not been recorded anywhere. However, you have to turn left at the ski lift. The hiking signs are very small and easy to miss and you can't see a path on the meadow either.
