At 1,456 meters, the Buchensteinwand rises up in the middle of the PillerseeTal and offers a wonderful panoramic view of the Kitzbühel Alps, the Wilder Kaiser, Hohe Tauern, Waidringer Steinplatte and the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge.

Hiking

With its prominent location in the Pillerseetal, the Buchensteinwand is a great vantage point. In any case, from the Jakobskreuz you have a breathtaking view over the Kitzbühel Alps, the Loferer Steinberge and all the way to the Wilder Kaiser.

Hiking

The short walk from the mountain station of the Buchensteinwand to the original summit cross of the Buchensteinwand is well worth it. The great all-round view up to the Kaiser Mountains is overwhelming.
