With its 975 m altitude, the Gaisstein remains just under 1000 and is also less known than the parade excursion destinations around Furth, but after a relatively short ascent it offers a great all-round view from its rocky summit. You will meet a lot of chamois here!

Alpine character in the Vienna Woods - the Gaisstein! Perfect for a winter hike and ibex as a highlight. The Gaisstein is an impressive panoramic mountain in the Lower Austrian Pre-Alps in the municipality of Furth an der Triesting, the summit region of which is alpine in character despite its low altitude. From the 974 m above sea level The lying summit offers a wonderful panoramic view, which extends over Vienna's local mountains to Ötscher on a clear day.
