Schoberspitze in the Eselsberggraben

Very scenic tour with partly steep passages. A certain level of surefootedness is therefore required!

From the summit of the Schoberspitze you have a wonderful view of the Lower Tauern. To the northeast are the Zagelsee and Fischegelsee as well as the Obere Petzenhütte.
