Great place to stop for a break at the end of a Gindlhorn tour. It takes about 30 minutes from the inn to the Lessern bus stop (downhill).

Easy to do with a dog, although smaller dogs may need to be carried up the stairs. Large dogs can be carried up or down the sides.

Starting from the Gasthof Dachsteinblick, the route goes downhill through a beautiful mountain forest. Sure-footedness and mountain hiking boots are required. Then it's even steeper back up to the Himmelsleiter. The views of the Grimming and the Dachstein are spectacular. A tour that is not particularly easy, but varied and scenically beautiful.
