Description

Even though you can no longer ride the last few hundred metres altitude up to the cross, the climb is still well worth it. From Kartitsch you head to St. Oswald and from there up to the Ochsenwiesen beneath the Dorfberg. A bit of sill and good brakes are required on the return leg back from the wide pasture lands to St. Oswald to the valley station for the Dorfberg lift and to Gasthaus Dorfberg.
