Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

This waterfall makes its way down the rock face. In summer, the light "facial shower" is just right! 💦

September 7, 2024,🇦🇹 Guffertspitze ⛰️ 2194m als XXL Rundtour - Steinberg am Rofan

Extreme hiking with Rau Tours, that's exactly what it said in Ben&Jenny's calendar 😁. This tour was suggested by Ben, though, because we had actually planned to do a via ferrata 😉😎. The meeting point was at 7am at the Pfraundorf commuter car park. Then we continued across the border with our annual sticker to the car park. We managed …

October 29, 2023,Guffert Gipfel – Aufstieg zur Guffertspitze (2190m) Runde von Steinberg am Rofan

The classic Guffertspitze round from Steinberg (1000m) was on the agenda today. From the Waldhäusel car park (6¢/day) we went steadily uphill through beautiful mixed forest with beech trees to the tree line at around 1500m. Always the Guffertspitze in view. At 1800m then continue through mountain pines to the turnoff to Guffertspitze. From there it's about another 45 minutes, …

September 2, 2023,Steinberg - Guffertspitze - Guffertstein

Beautiful and slightly challenging round trip to the Guffert. In my opinion, like in Kommot, the climb is partly not a T2 path, more of a T3-T4, on a really short stretch it is more of a T4. Surefootedness should definitely be present. From the summit there is a magnificent view over many peaks in the Alps and rightly a …

Start in Giesing at 7 with the DAV mountain bus and off to beautiful Rofan.
The tour starts at 9 am and thanks to an easy but steep climb it quickly climbs many meters. Then on the Guffert the usual rush and again and again short waiting times at the climbing spots on the summit construction.
Descent over a gravelly …

For the ascent, good physical condition and sure footing on small, steep climbing passages on the rope are required.... Reward, magnificent views on the Guffert in all directions, the climb is worth it
