デフェレッゲンのホップフガルテンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

They certainly didn't do the environment any favors with the lift system. And I don't think it adds any value either. Two black slopes, often only one of which is accessible. I've known the Leppleskoflel for decades. No, the climb isn't scenic anymore. But at the top, you're rewarded with a view that's second to none. And mountain bikers shouldn't even attempt it; the terrain isn't exactly fun.

Because of the unsightly access path, I first took the beautiful trail toward Ochsenlenke and then from there up over grass and scree directly to the start of the summit trail. Although very strenuous, it saves you the wide path. Perhaps creating a trail as a branch off the Ochsenlenke trail would enhance the value of this worthwhile summit!

The Grosser Leppleskofel is advertised as easy to climb, but it's actually a moderately difficult climb! The final 200 meters to the summit are particularly challenging. Surefootedness, a head for heights, and the appropriate equipment are essential! Don't forget, we're in alpine terrain.

Fantastic views in all directions.

The path from the Eagle Lounge to the summit is classified as black. The first section is fairly steep, the second part is a beautiful ridge path. There are a few rope safety devices. It took us about 75 minutes at a steady, slow pace. The view from the summit is phenomenal, but there are also wonderful viewpoints along the way.

We took the tour from the Kals mountain railway today in mid-September. The scree areas at the beginning and just before the top were challenging. The length of the route is absolutely doable and the view is truly breathtaking. It took us a little longer because we set a slow pace on the 'difficult' routes. It should be noted that you should really be sure-footed on the route and keep your nerve as some sections are really dangerous. Despite moderate visibility, this was one of the most beautiful hikes so far for us.

It used to be a great tour with a beautiful, only short sections steep climb towards the end as an access route. They stayed, the other beautiful ascent by path unfortunately fell victim to the slope expansion. The new path is therefore up to the last stretch on a steep, very monotonous rough gravel road, which heats up miserably when the weather is nice. Honestly no fun. Anyone who now thinks they ride their bikes better: Yes, it is possible, but you should be able to. The road is very steep and gravel/slippery. We saw several people with rental e-mountain bikes from the village, who desperately pushed them down the path or could no longer start up the steep path. Therefore probably something for more experienced mountain bikers. The view at the top of the summit is beautiful as always... everyone has to decide for themselves whether the way there is still worthwhile.
