Geierkogel

A longer but impressive hike

We start at the Hohentauern village square and follow the signs to Himmlischenplatzerl Wichtlhütte. From the Wichtelhütte continue to the "Kainzenboden". The last section to the Geierkogel is a little more challenging.

Wir beginnen am Dorfplatz in Hohentauern und folgen den Wegweisern zum Himmlischenplatzerl und zur Wichtlhütte. Von der Wichtelhütte aus setzen wir unsere Wanderung fort und gelangen zum “Kainzenboden”. Das letzte Stück bis zum Geierkogel erfordert etwas mehr Geschick und Ausdauer, aber die Aussicht von dort oben ist es definitiv wert!
