A worthwhile destination for a scenic mountain hike.
Basic equipment for mountain hiking includes sturdy hiking boots with good tread, a 30-35 liter backpack, and functional clothing based on the layering principle, including sufficient spare clothes. Essential items are rain, cold, and sun protection, adequate fluids and provisions, as well as a first-aid kit and a charged mobile phone. A map or a GPS device supports orientation.
This information serves as a guideline and does not claim to be exhaustive. Equipment must always be adapted to the tour destination, weather conditions, season, natural hazards, environmental influences, and personal needs.
The hike leads from the Bergstation der Steinermandlbahn initially through alpine pastures towards Neualplseen, in the Hohe Tauern National Park. From there, a short, steep mountain path leads to the summits of the östlichen Sattelköpfe – offering wide views of the Dolomites and the Lienz valley floor. The return journey follows the same route.
