The Krummbachstein is a popular excursion destination for hikers and mountaineers. It belongs to the Rax-Schneeberg group and is the highest point of the Gahn; it is only separated from the Schneeberg by the Krummbachsattel. The Krummbachstein offers a beautiful view of the Schneeberg and the Höllental valley. A medium, beautiful, panoramic and sometimes foggy hike awaits you on the Krummbachstein. I thought the tour was fantastic. Chapeau!

    Tour so ähnlich in die andere Richtung gegangen. Die Pottschacher Hütte und Rote Wand sind lohnende Ziele für einen gemütlichen Wandernachmittag.

    A part of the route (from km 13 to km 14) is currently not accessible because of fallen trees, I had to take a detour via Krummbachsattel. Elevation gain is 1500m, rather than 2000m.

    Sehr schöne Tour, nur die Hütte ist in Juli/August gar nicht, und ansonsten nur an Wochenenden, alternativ von einem Verein bewirtet.

    Bin heute die Strecke gelaufen. Anfangs sehr steil aber trotzdem gut machbar. Die Rote Wand ist ein Traum, wäre sicherlich schön dort länger zu verweilen. Kurze Einkehr auf Pottschacherhütte war auch nett. Lustig war es auch bei den Skulpturen in Gastein vorbeizujoggen. Wo kann man das schon?
