As a border between the County of Gorizia (until 1241) and the Tyrolean struggle for freedom (1809), it was historically significant and perhaps not quite as noticed, but historically important and very idyllic.

Hochsteinhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the Hochsteinhütte the biker enjoys a fantastic panoramic view. It feels so close to the Lienz Dolomites and overlooks the entire Lienz valley floor with the capital Lienz and the small villages all around.

September 15, 2025,Von Lienz zum Bösen Weibele

From Lienz to the Hochsteinhütte by bike (1,285m elevation gain in 2.5 hours), then hiked to the summit of the Bösen Weibele (2,521m) in 1 hour and 45 minutes (not difficult, 500m elevation gain). Beautiful panoramic views 🤩
