リーツェンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

“Is it always something special for you?” asks presenter Werner Schmidbauer as he and Munich priest Rainer Maria Schießler reach the summit cross crowning the mountain in an episode of the Bavarian Television series “Summit Meeting.” I would like to offer his short but poignant answer to all who pause before this small sacred monument for reflection: “For me, the cross has always been a symbol of encouragement, of hope, of new beginnings, of life. That’s how my parents taught it to me…”

The Ischler Hütte is located at approximately 1,368 meters in the Schwarzenbergalm region of the Totes Gebirge mountains. It was built in the 1920s and later replaced by a new octagonal structure. It can only be reached on foot, for example, from the Rettenbachalm. The hut offers not only sweeping views of the mountains but also traditional dishes such as cheese dumplings and game dishes – all freshly prepared in a cozy, alpine atmosphere.

Very nice hut with good food and great view

Great view from the Planai into the Ennstal.

It is a beautiful panorama that you can experience here.

Dachstein coming from the south is quite a challenge. At least 800 meters of often vertical rock face are very impressive. The shoulder climb is underestimated by many tourists. For me, the first 30 meters or so of the start is more of a "C". And you think the KS is short. Wrong. The climb overcomes the summit structure in several stages and is quite long. But it is really 🥰if the weather is right. To descend, I took the Randkluftsteig to the glacier. It is anything but trivial at the bottom because there is no rope for the last 20 meters. But there are steel pins and a few clamps. You can only be properly secured with a rope partner. OK, it might be a B but be careful‼️. The Randkluft itself can also be bad. So for this variant, crampons, a partner and a short rope are advantageous. It took me a total of 4 hours and I didn't think I was slow.

The last 150m are via ferrata

Better with climbing equipment if you are unsure
