    Hiking

    While Emperor Franz Joseph I climbed the historic Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe during his visit in 1856, his wife Elisabeth of Austria stayed behind on the wooden floor opposite the Elisabethfelsen. It is rather doubtful whether the empress herself had actually climbed this rock, since in 1856 the Elisabeth rock was still a few meters deep under the glacier ice. Here you can admire many cairns and expand them yourself!
