    Beautiful view of St. Gilgen, Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding mountains. Easy climb on the east side. Relatively steep on the west side with many wooden steps and metal stairs. No retreat, but some seating at the hut. take a snack with you. The stone clefts are also interesting and fun for children to scramble through.

      The short hike to the Plombergstein is rewarded with a wonderful view of Lake Wolfgang, St. Gilgen and the surrounding mountains. From here you can, among other things see the Schafberg, the Sparber and the Zwölferhorn.

      This vantage point is one of the so-called "Gschmå Platzln" on Lake Wolfgang. “Gschmå” means: cozy, personable, beautiful, entertaining, pleasant. If everything fits, then it's “gschmå” - like on the Plombergstein.

      At these beautiful places, of which there are around 10 around Lake Wolfgang, new benches have been built. Here you can rest, have a picnic and enjoy the view ...

        I can absolutely recommend the tour to the Plombergstein and is very varied and just awesome, especially for children.

            Great route :)
            We were out for about 5 hours (1 hour snack on the Plombergstein (don't forget snacks))
            We went hiking with the backpack carrier for the first time. Our 2-year-old daughter was in the carrier the whole way up and down and found it all very exciting.

            The ascent was definitely easier than the descent.

            We are going to get hiking poles now. The descent was slippery and steep in places, the poles would have provided even more security.

            It would certainly be even more exciting for older children to discover the caves.
