    If you shy away from the arduous "ascent" and would rather like to look forward to the magnificent view on the descent, you have a wonderful, if not very inexpensive, option here.

      The Schafbergbahn offers everyone who can no longer walk a great opportunity to enjoy this great mountain.

        Dogs must be muzzled
        The Schafbergbahn transports its guests to the summit in 30 minutes

          Long tradition, beautiful tour. Unfortunately, today it is no longer as spectacular as I was able to experience in the 1970s with the rustic steam locomotives. With a stop to refuel with water. But the technology has to keep up with the times. The old locomotives are still used for traditional trips.

            The last part from the middle station to the summit is doable on foot, but not to be underestimated, it goes steeply uphill with a gradient of up to 28% 🥵🙄
