The entry point at about 675 m starts with a row of easy climbing sections. Then, the path leads us along a small waterfall up to the first lookout point, which already gives us a taste of the final view. An absolute highlight of the tour is crossing the adventurous suspension bridge, which offers you a breathtaking view at 300 m above the ground. After climbing a total of 560 metres, we reach the summit, where you will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the lakes and the surrounding peaks of the Dachstein massif. After a short break, we start the descent over Hirschteig. Here, the Drachenloch, another highlight of the tour, awaits us. Through the hole in the steep cliff, you will get another fantastic look at the deep blue Mondsee.
