High Alpine hikes

Not all hiking is the same. Some hikers prefer to walk around the fjord-like Lake Hallstatt or the picturesque Lake Gosau. Other mountain enthusiasts are looking for a challenge.

The pinnacle of pleasures

Summit crosses reach even closer to the sky than the mountains. For centuries, they have adorned peaks and peaks in the Alpine region in simple or effective designs. Whether their "Hello" is seen as a welcome or above all as a religious symbol is personal interpretation. Regardless of the worldview, the sight of it means for all mountain hikers the liberating feeling of having reached a goal and standing on a wonderful vantage point. Don't forget your entry in the summit book!

We see us on the mountain, while hiking in the Salzkammergut!
