The Hohe Wand is more wide than high: The mountain range features a well over 12 km long, continuous rock face to the southeast, which offers a few passages for hikers but is mainly reserved for (sport) climbers and via ferrata enthusiasts. The contrast between steep rock and the wide areas of the Neue Welt is the trademark of the Hohe Wand. The range of dining options is diverse. However, only at the southern tip do we find huts accessible exclusively on foot. The countless ascents leading to the forest plateau from all directions also create countless combination options for public transport users, making the Hohe Wand a particularly beloved destination for hikers on the edge of the Alps.
