Many years ago I was at the Katzenstein without any knowledge or preparation and since then I still have a great respect for it. Fortunately, I kicked a stone on the way back and it took a while before I heard it hit. With the utmost caution I then looked for and found another descent. Later I often went on hikes with my family from Hois'n to Laudachsee, also over the Hohe Scharte, the Mairalm around the Traunstein, but since then I have avoided the Katzenstein like the plague, you don't necessarily have to challenge fate.

Great mountain with far-reaching views. Nice climb to the summit. A bit of scrambling is required!
