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).

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.

Eisenerzer Reichenstein summit

Highlight • Summit

The shortest way to the Eisenerzer Reichenstein leads from the Präbichl over the Rösselhals to the summit in about two and a half hours. A bit above the Rösselhals you can decide whether to follow the normal route, the Theklasteig, or take a shortcut via a steeper route and four successive ladders, the stairs.

Rösselhals

Highlight • Mountain Pass

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"
