마이쇼펜‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

The summit of the Sausteig (1,912 m) is a prominent landmark on the Saalachtal High Trail. From here, the view extends far over the Glemmtal Valley, the Leogang Steinberge Mountains, and, on a clear day, all the way to the Hohe Tauern. A wonderful place to pause, enjoy the view, and celebrate reaching the summit.

When I was looking for a trail for the Sausteigen hike, I couldn't find anywhere I could start from the Asitz cable car. So, I set out on this tour on my own. The starting point of my hike was the Asitz mountain station, continuing over the Großer Asitz, Schabergkogel, and Geierkogel. From there, it descends briefly and then follows the Saalachtaler Höhenweg (Saalach Valley High Trail). The forest path makes the hike particularly pleasant—even though I had bad weather. You pass several summit crosses—e.g., the Funeck or Lochalmköpfl. Then, keep right at the next junction; overall, the trail is very well signposted. The Sausteigen is marked "black," but I can only partially agree with that. After the junction, there is a short, steep climb—then along the ridge until you reach the summit cross of the Sausteigen. The black marking most likely comes from hiking along the ridge of the mountain—because it's not difficult if you're in good shape :)

View from the summit of the Sausteige 1912 m down to Saalfelden and the Berchtesgaden Alps.

Great to linger and to get a small overview. At the top there is a bench and a hiking map for more information.

Maps and signposts give different information about the name: Sausteige or Sausteign; the locals say Sausteign.

The nice thing about this climb is that in very hot weather you walk for 80% in the shade. There are also not such great height differences in foot steps.

From here you can really see a few thousand... Brilliant 😎

Here in the café you can enjoy your coffee and the brilliant view 😶‍🌫️☕️
