Are you on the North-South Trail? Congratulations, you have now reached the highest checkpoint of the long-distance hike! But many ambitious hikers also climb these 2,128 meters for a day trip. The Reichensteinhütte not only has delicious hut delicacies to offer, but also a magnificent panorama of the Eisenerz Alps.

Stairway to Reichenstein

Surefootedness required - not a big challenge for experienced people. You can also bypass the stairs on a hiking trail (follow the signs).

From the "Präbichler Hof" we walk along the marked path through the Grübl upwards and over several steep steps to the Rösselhals (1770m), from here we continue in a southerly direction over the uphill ridge to the so-called "Stiege"
