- Description
-
Start the hike at the Stein-Bauer car park. Here, you can park your car free of charge. The narrow agricultural road on the left starts off quite steeply, then rises gently through the forest in the direction of the Gründeck ridge and on towards Hochgründeck along the signposted trails. Worth a visit: Friedenskapelle, a little chapel just above Heinrich-Kiener-Haus on the St. Rupert pilgrim trail.
Hochgründeck is one of the highest forested mountains in Europe and is regar-ded as one of the most beautiful moun-tains with a view in Austria. The relatively long tour spoils you with views onto approx. 300 peaks (Hochkönig, Tennen Mountains, Dachstein, Low and High Tauern, Kitzbühel Alps and Dientner Alps).
