The Rottenmanner Tauern are a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers. They form a mountain group of the central Eastern Alps. Together with the Radstadt Tauern, the Schladming Tauern, and the Seckau Tauern, the Rottenmanner and Wölzer Tauern form the major group of the Low Tauern. A medium, beautiful, panoramic, and sometimes foggy hike awaits you in the Rottenmanner Tauern. I found the route fantastic. Chapeau!

Simple round tour for almost any seasonAlthough the spacious hunting lodge might suggest otherwise, the name "Kaiserau" does not come from the Habsburgs, but from cheese making. From here, an easy path leads to the Lahngangkogel and further to the Klinke Hut at the foot of the Kalbling. A varied round trip as an appetizer for longer, more alpine tours in the Gesäuse, which can also be done early or late in the hiking season depending on the weather.
