Beautiful ascent path - for those who are not sure-footed, a forest path can also be taken to the summit.

In winter, the steep path up is not recommended, but past the hut on the left is much better to walk then you come directly to the Voitl hut ... …

A popular place to take a break and find peace in summer and winter. The location directly on the Zwölferhornbahn opens up a clear view of Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding mountains.

... nice ascent today, but unfortunately the entire time in the drizzle - but we're not made of sugar ... That's why? Go on!

***** stars for the innkeeper in the Voit'l Hütte, great guy! Lots of laughs • Spontaneous course in the correct pronunciation of local terms • Extra side dish in our snack... Personal recommendation!

The view of Lake Wolfgangsee, the Schafberg and the surrounding mountains of the Salzkammergut is gigantic! The path on forest roads from Tiefbrunnau is not difficult and can be done without snowshoes. Crampons are sometimes useful. There is also a lovely hut to stop at, the Voit'l Hut.

We hike from our holiday destination towards Weisswand, where we turn into the forest. The path climbs quickly here, and we're soon out of breath. Summer temperatures and a magnificent view motivate us to move forward quickly. As the weather cools, we take a more relaxed walk through beautiful meadows and then back into the forest. Here, too, the forest …

The Zwölferhorn looks so inconspicuous on the map that I only got the idea to climb it on the recommendation of a friend. And it was definitely worth it. On the somewhat more challenging ascent, you're constantly treated to magnificent views of Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding mountains. On the descent, you pass several stunningly beautiful alpine pastures! I definitely …
