Here there are several options for continuing your hike. On the one hand, it goes down to Hinternasswald and on the other hand to Altenberg/Rax.
From the Nasskamm you can either ascend to the Rax or to the Schneealpe.

May 5, 2024,Auf die Rax übers wilde Gamseck, runter über das zahme Gamseck

Today I had my girlfriend with me and for her it was her first ascent of the wild Gamseck. With a short use of the rope, the wall was an experience for her too. Luckily there are enough hooks where you can secure yourself with the rope. Nevertheless, the wall is not for beginners.
