          As in the entire Kaitersberg area, the landscape is beautiful.
          Unfortunately, the well-known climbing spots have been closed for a long time, the reason is said to be the lynx.

                                I think the ridge is called Steinbühler Gesenke. From the spot you have a great view of the Kötztinger Hut, which you unfortunately don't have time for if you're doing the 12,000m tour.
