Great tour from Ötscher base in Wienerbruck. It is best to buy a combination ticket at the entrance so that you can also buy the train ticket for the Mariazell Railway from Erlaufklause to Wienerbruck at a cheaper price.

The hike should only be undertaken by those with a lot of experience, a head for heights, good footwear and good physical condition.
