Promising 2000s in the Gesäuse. Reachable from the Ennstaler hut in 1h 30m, as a tour from the Gstatterboden in 4h 30m. Persistent, comparatively simple in terms of difficulty. Sure-footedness …
A popular hike in the Gesäuse National Park leads from the rustic Hesshütte, over the Ennseck, to the rocky summit of the Hochzinödel, which offers a wide view.
You'll need your hands to scramble to the summit a bit—it's fun finding your own way. Once at the top, you're very close to the Admont Reichenstein, and the view from here is magnificent.
The Gscheideggkogel is wonderful for hiking, especially when the alpine roses are in bloom (July), naturally also an experience with the late autumn colors and ideally suited for a snowshoe hike.
