Fire pit with a large bank area on the summit, shelter somewhat below. The best thing about the Gamser is the narrow forest path that leads up and around the summit.

Hiking

An old castle site at the end of a ridge with a barbecue area and a small hut further back.
The way there is also very exciting over the ridge and the view of the Töss valley is good, even if partly blocked by trees.

Unfortunately, nothing of the castle can be seen anymore. A few conspicuous stones in the ground could be a remnant. But it is a nice resting place with a fireplace.
