From the 2,011 meter high summit of the Schwalbenwand you have a phenomenal all-round view of the surrounding mountains: the Saalfelden Basin spreads out below you, the Steinernes Meer towers up steeply in the north and you can already see the Hohe Tauern in the south.

Hiking

At approximately 2,011 meters, the summit of the Schwalbenwand is one of the striking grassy mountains above Maishofen. From the summit, a magnificent panorama opens up over Lake Zell, the Hohe Tauern, and as far as the Steinernes Meer. It's a worthwhile destination for hikers, offering both natural beauty and panoramic views.
