Deichselbach Tufa Terraces (Tufa Steps)

Highlight • Waterfall

The Deichselbach, which rises from several sources here, leaves behind a staircase made of tufa, which reaches about 20m into the valley. It is particularly worth coming here if there have been rainy days before.

View from the Dragonerspitz

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lime kiln has nothing to do with the Dragoon Spitz. In this case, it is a "cauldron" below the hiking trail above. Here you can climb and you will find the prayer flag.

July 23, 2023,Sinterstufen Almadlerhütte Friesener Warte ⛰️🌤🌤🌤

Very nice hike from Ketschendorf. Sinter stages are brown and simply lack water. Stop at the Almadlerhütte, came at exactly the right time 👍. We continued on high rock walls lime kiln. Very impressive. We continued to the Friesener waiting room, hardly any flight operations. Tour with some HM. Warm temperatures 25° and partly very gusty wind 🌬

A perfect hike with plenty of ups and downs. We enjoyed some amazing views. And our child even found some places to climb and scramble.
