    Hiking

    The Stuhleck is, together with the Wechsel, one of the easternmost peaks in the Alps that still rises above the tree line.

    The Alois Günther House is located at the summit.

    From the Pfaffensattel, a mountain pass (1372 m) between the towns of Rettenegg and Steinhaus am Semmering, an unpaved toll road that is only open in summer leads to the summit.

    The Alpannonia Central Alpine Trail, an Austrian long-distance hiking trail, also leads up and over the summit.

    Hiking

    The Koglbauer family's Pfaffensattelhaus has long since seen its best days; the once popular guesthouse on the Alpine pass between the communities of Rettenegg and Steinhaus am Semmering has been falling into disrepair for years. It has now become a kind of "lost place". "It looks catastrophic, my heart bleeds every time I see the house. But it used to be so good," laments Rettenegg's mayor Johann Ziegerhofer. Many people who drive over the Pfaffensattel probably feel the same way.
