Three-thousand-meter route

The route initially runs through the forest but soon offers great views repeatedly. When leaving the forest road, a path follows through beech forest and later steeply over an open area up to a saddle – here you have a nice view of the Totes Gebirge with the Großer Priel. The route continues on a rocky, narrow path up to the first peak, with a beautiful view of the Alpine foothills and the Traunstein. The ridge walk is the highlight of the route. We reach the Gaisberg with a small cross. Now continue east, everywhere deadwood and constant views of the Priel massif. The descent to Pfaffenboden requires concentration again due to many fallen trees. From Pfaffenboden, an unmarked path leads to the last peak. The snow breakage has done a lot of damage here, so this must be bypassed over an open mountain slope. At the last peak (Hochbuchberg), again great wide views. The descent to the hut is easy and the onward way to the parking lot as well.
