recommended route Difficulty moderate

Not an easy tour, i.e. for mountaineers, as it is on unmarked hunting trails or pathless. Great views and lake reflections make up for the windswept sections on the Norggrat ridge and round off the tour. Not for "pure" hikers.

Western Höllengebirge (Brennerin N ridge)

recommended route Difficulty moderate

Due to its alpine character, this tour is an attractive alternative to the now overcrowded Attersee via ferrata. The ascent can be shortened by mountain bike.
