Point to point
The stage from the Kampenwand mountain to the Priener Hut displays fantastic views and lovely meadowland. However a short stretch, the climb to the Weitlahnerkopf, is secured by cables and requires you to be sure of foot. The relatively short stage allows a detour to the Geigelstein, which will be rewarded by the wonderful panorama over the Kaisergebirge mountains.
