St. Leonharder Höhenweg An exciting route characterizes the St. Leonharder Höhenweg. © Mark ZahelPhoto: Mark Zahel, Rother Bergverlag
Between Ludwigsburger Hut and Luibisboden, a magnificent high trail runs across the slopes of the mighty Geigenkamm, which hardly receives the recognition it deserves. The reason is probably the considerable length and narrow path, which keeps the number of hikers limited. So we can expect genuine mountain solitude when we direct our steps over jutting ridge shoulders and balconies covered with alpine roses, through boulder-filled bowls as well as gullies and high dents with gurgling streams. And all the time, the jagged Kaunergrat parade stands on the opposite valley side, already bathed in sunlight in the early morning. Along the way, dreamlike places invite you to linger - for example at the Scharscharte, at the Gampen, at the Schoaßkopf or at the Luibisboden. Just don't forget to cover some good distance in between...
From the Ludwigsburger Hut, diagonally uphill through open forest and soon advancing into open terrain. The "Little Panorama Circular Trail" – a short tour in the hut area – is bypassed, and the gorge of the Eschelbach is crossed. Steeply up the opposite ridge and after leaving the "Great Panorama Circular Trail", crossing a rocky slope to the south. Shortly afterwards, a summit route branches off to the Lehner Grieskogel. Our ridge path presents itself narrow and steep over a long distance. At one corner we have to descend through a muddy groove using chains – possibly the most difficult single section. Then again across a slope bay, vigorously uphill on the other side and via secured traverses to the Scharscharte, approx. 2360 m, and its cross-adorned pulpit on the ledge. A great viewpoint!

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
