Experience the unique "2 summits in one day feeling" on this mountain tour.
Don't worry - it's by no means as difficult as it might sound. Because the first part of the ascent is a leisurely ride on the Schwarzeckalm cable car, which takes you up to an altitude of 1,400m. Directly from the mountain station you hike along trail no. 28c to Langegg at an altitude of 1,899m. This means that you have already conquered the first peak. Before continuing, you must enjoy the breathtaking 360° panorama and take a souvenir picture at the specially built photo point. After the rest, continue uphill on trail no. 445 in the direction of Hundstein/Statzerhaus. The second summit cross is already at 2,117m. You have reached your goal and can be justifiably proud.
Hike back via the ascent route.

Self-assessment Check your physical fitness before every mountain tour and correctly assess your strength as well as that of your companions - especially those of your children! Surefootedness and a head for heights are often very important!
Planning and preparation Plan each intended mountain tour in detail beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine associations and local experts such as mountain guides and mountain hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment On the mountain, you will need appropriate equipment and clothing, especially sturdy, high shoes with good grip soles. Weather and cold protection are essential, as the weather can often change unexpectedly.
Weather forecasts Take note of the current weather conditions at: www.zamg.at
Together Follow the 10 rules for the correct handling of grazing animals and do not leave any waste in nature!
Do not kick stones Do not kick stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked places with a danger of falling rocks should be crossed as quickly as possible and with attention and caution.
Turn back in good time This is not a disgrace, but a sign of common sense. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog rolls in, and also when the path is too difficult or not in good condition.Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency call: 140
