September 1, 2023,Saualpe grosser Sauofen ab Steinerhütte

Sturdy shoes required.
For those who have difficulty walking, the climb should be avoided. The paths lead over many stones and roots.
It is very windy at the top so warm clothing is definitely required, even in the summer months!

We set off from the Steinerhütte in the late afternoon. There are only a few cars in the parking lot, and the hut is quiet. Junior curiously explores the surroundings, and we treat ourselves to a coffee before setting off. Following trail 342 toward the Wolfsberger Hütte, we briefly enter the forest before the first expansive views open up.
