Hunerkogel Tour - Hoher Dachstein

The journey starts at Hunerkogel, where it is very busy thanks to the skiers. But you only have to walk a few tens of meters and God's peace is already coming. View back to the cable car building

The path is absolutely clear you can't get lost. We follow a path prepared by a snowmobile, where the rod is sometimes stuck in case of bad weather. There is a beautiful snowy plain in the area. In places where skiers do not ride even completely immaculate

The road bypasses a huge snow hole. The view of the Hoher Dachstein (2,995 m above sea level) and the side Mitterspitz (2925 m above sea level) is truly breathtaking.

The road bypasses the peak of Hohes Dirndl (2832 m) and climbs to the Seethalerhütte mountain hut.

We also see a snowmobile, which creates hiking trails here. Walking on a snowy glacier is thus completely safe

Finally we come to the cottage Seethalerhütte built in the saddle Dachsteinwarte (2741m). The famous ferrata Johann-Klettersteig also ends here. The views from here are wonderful.

Below us is the depths and in the distance the valley of the river Enns. Even further is the Low Tauern ridge

The massive Hoher Dachstein wall rises just a short distance from us

Not far from the cottage, the path created by the snowmobile leaves and we are already walking on the footpath trodden by the people in front of us. Still awake.

In beautiful weather it is a hike with lots of unforgettable views

With increasing height, a wider view of the vast desolate plateau in the north opens up.

The road still climbs along the increasingly steep glacier. Thanks to the snow, it is still feasible even in hot hills and with trekking poles.

The comfortable path ends about 100 meters below the top. First you have to overcome the crack between the rock and the glacier and then you have to climb such a trough straight up. Here he also wants to have security and cats, otherwise it is quite a risky business. From here we return the same way back
