September 14, 2021,Hochgern von Staudach übers Silleck im Aufstieg, Weitalm und Schnappenkirche im Abstieg

For me one of the most beautiful climbs on the Hochgern.

From Staudach we first went to the Brachtlalm. From there continue on a somewhat more demanding climb (you should be sure-footed and sturdy shoes are essential) up to the Silleck, a wonderful vantage point in the shadow of the Hochgern.
