Those who climb steeply will reap steep viewsA full-day hike that offers (almost) everything. Rustic huts, rugged rock faces, lush alpine meadows, magnificent panoramas. The path over Windgrube and Kampl becomes a pleasure trail that will be remembered for a long time. However, the steep Hans-Leitner-Steig must be conquered first.

Hiking Pleasure on the Sunny SideGenerally speaking, the ridge that stretches from Oisching to Schießling is forested. However, alpine pastures provide plenty of direct sunlight and views into the distance, such as at the Schießlingalm and the summit of the same name. This boost of vitamin D makes the tour a year-round pleasure.

    Abgesehen von der Bürgeralm selbst, bewegt man sich auf relativ abgeschiedenen Wegen und hat wechselnde aber eigentlich immer wunderschöne Ausblicke.

    Die Tour ist gut ausgeschildert und ist sehr anspruchsvoll, schade ist, dass kein Gipfel diese Tour kront ich habe es dennoch genossen und habe einen Traumtag im Oktober trotz Schneefelder erlebt.
