    The 14 Summit Trail

    The ultimate marathon

    Author’s recommendation

    Only at km 20 a small creek (not during strong drought) NO HUTS

    Option to abort from the halfway point to the hut (Lindlingalm), then from there to the bus station.

    Roadbook

    Start mountain station Schattberg Express to Reiterkogel cable car

    GPS watch or navigation recommended!

    Those who complete the route in 8h30min can descend with the last gondola

    (400Hm and 2km less :-) ;-))

    Highlight: the Geißstein at 2367m - the highest grass mountain in Europe!

    !!!Trailrunning in its purest form!!!

    Observe the opening times of the Schattberg cable car...

    At 7:30 there is an extra transport for such trails.. also observe seasonal operating times... (approx. end of June - beginning of September)

    An elevation-eased version is also possible:

    After starting at the panorama trail, orient yourself, then to the Geißstein, continue the route without summit ascents. (Study the map)
