We landed here by chance - Service was very friendly and the food was top. Monday is Backhendl day (fried chicken).

In the first phase, you clamber over stones between the windings of a small stream (no, it wasn't a rainy day…), then a slippery steep section follows, where you probably move most safely on all fours, followed by a few more unpleasant spots, and then a traverse along the slope that is as long as it is boring.

"Heimkehrer Kreuz" between Matras Warte and Schöpfl Schutzhaus.

The panoramic view from the steel tower of the former Kaiser Franz Joseph Warte and today's Franz Eduard Matras Warte still impresses. In a work published by Crown Prince Rudolf about the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the view is described so aptly that it still entices people to tour the mountain today. The Leopold-Figl-Observatorium is within sight. Only a few minutes' walk away, the Schöpfl-Schutzhaus of the ÖTK invites you to linger. In 1865, the Imperial Royal Forestry Authority built a viewing platform on the highest point of the Schöpfl at 893 meters. It originally served as weather protection for the still existing survey marker. Due to the good view, the platform quickly developed into a popular excursion destination.
