The ascent through the Mittagsloch initially follows a well-developed path from Hinterettenberg to the sunny and scenic Scheibenkaser. Beyond this begins the actual path to the Mittagsloch. It leads after a steep ascent over a meadow slope, through rocky terrain below the Unterberg walls, to the large entrance of the Mittagsloch, a through cave whose upper exit is only 100 m below the Stöhrhaus.

Beautiful climbing tour in Föhn with Sylvia on the Untersberg.
"The impressive rock formations of the Untersberg south face shape the northern panorama of the Berchtesgaden Alps. A partly 400 m high, vertical rock band winds steeply and ruggedly from the Berchtesgaden to the Salzburg Hochthron. The via ferrata built in 2007 leads almost straight through one of the steepest and most exposed wall passes to the ridge near the summit".
Descent via the Stöhrhaus, where we can warm up again with a peppermint tea.

A beautiful mountain day with Sylvia! Hochkampschneidig for the start.
Sylvia's new climbing gloves have the coolest design ever, - but the palm is smooth and shiny like an oiled baby bottom. With a corresponding coefficient of friction, of course...
And: They are two left gloves. And: Far too small.
Great. She gets mine...
Everything goes "smoothly".
At the exit, two thin German ladies pass by on the hiking trail: "Where is the cable car?" - In the afternoon at half past 3. They want to "float down gently on the knees." Aha. We explain to them that for this they first have to trek 3 hours up and down the doline plateau of the Untersberg. Then there is no cable car anymore, regardless of being vaccinated or - in their case - unvaccinated. They claim the hut keeper and others at Stöhrhaus said it was a quarter of an hour to the cable car. I can't imagine that. The hut keeper wouldn't want to provoke a mountain rescue operation! Well, in any case, they were persuaded to turn back.
We leisurely descend back to the valley over the Scheibenkaser in very light rain.
