스피탈 암 피른‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The Hohe Nock (1,963 m) is the highest peak in the Sengsengebirge Mountains and – when traversed from east to west – the last major summit of the tour before descending through the Budergraben valley. It offers magnificent panoramic views of the Kalkalpen National Park, the Totes Gebirge mountains, and the Gesäuse. On clear days, however, the Hohe Nock is a popular destination, and it can get quite crowded – those seeking absolute peace and solitude should ascend in the early morning hours and during the week.

Fantastic waterfalls and pools are accessible via very elaborate wooden steps and bridges. In wet conditions, I would recommend only going uphill. There are two other options for the return journey: the paved path or the forest/hiking trail to the paid parking lot. Payment is possible not only with the app but also with coins. The entrance fee is entirely justified for the very complex repair of the many wooden steps and bridges.

It's worth a visit.

The Hohe Nock is the highest mountain in the Sengsengebirge The Sengsengebirge stretches for almost 20 km

Information for people with dogs beyond the "I'll just pick him up and carry him" 🤪 No perforated grilles, no ladders, everything made of wood. My dog managed it well (51 kilos). Small recommendation: walk up the gorge from the entrance. A few steps are a bit steep and long, I think going down is more difficult than going up 🙂 in places it is a bit narrow but there are enough places to pass each other. Entrance fee 6 euros

Entry is free with the tourist card. Parking is almost exclusively paid for via app. If you continue left at the last parking lot, you will come to the Ochsenwaldalm. There is a free parking lot for hikers here. Interesting for people who just want to hike to the alpine pastures.

Huge summit plateau that invites you to linger longer

Beautiful all-round view to the Toten Gebirge, Gesäuse etc.
