View of Herrensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The W11 mountain station is definitely a _NONE_ "hiking highlight". It is only in operation in winter. There is no place to stop here. If so, you have to stop at Friedrichshütte or Alois-Günther-Haus.

August 23, 2026, Damm beim Feistritzsattellift

A small dam immediately by the ski area at Feistritzsattel, whose slopes extend between approximately 1,100 and 1,300 meters above sea level. The place lies directly in the mountain landscape shaped by the ski lift and is easily recognizable when passing by. An inconspicuous but distinctive landmark on the way through the Feistritzsattel area.

Heartiest congratulations . One question: how is the coating? Lots of stones, very compact gravel? I plan to do it in Gravel, but I don't know yet in which direction.
