With 49 three-thousanders, the Schober group offers many impressive peaks. However, one must be the highest. And this is not the namesake Hochschober, but the Petzeck.
A mighty rock colossus: seen from the Gradental, it impresses with its 1200m high northwest face and seems almost unclimbable. Nevertheless, it is one of the three-thousanders that have hardly any alpine difficulties. Below the highest mountain, you also find the largest lake. The Wangenitzsee is one of the largest and deepest mountain lakes of the High Tauern. Together with the Kreuzsee behind it, it forms an impressive water surface in a no less impressive mountain landscape. Due to the length and beauty of the route, an overnight stay at the Wangenitzsee Hut is recommended.
