Forest Ascent to Hohen Salve

Highlight • Trail

An Ötscher tour is worthwhile in late autumn, even if the view is restricted by fog, which is compensated for by the low frequency of hikers. The climbing passages can be slightly slippery, but Grödel is not necessary. So if you feel like it and don't want any "mass hikes" ... October is Ötschertime ;-)

Rauher Kamm

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The rough ridge is one of the northernmost alpine tours in the northern Limestone Alps. The approach is typically north-east via Raneck + Bärenlacken. After a long climb through the forest, the trail leads from about 1500m north side just below the ridge along, from about 1600m, the path changes directly to the ridge and swings in several (mostly south-facing) uphills towards Ötscher-Vorgipfel. Before exiting, the steep southern flank with narrow grass bands and rocky steps must be overcome. The climbing-technical difficulties are manageable, but not to be underestimated are the deep views of the upswings and the resulting exposure. There is hardly any insurance, only at individual key points there is assistance by metal pins.

Großer Ötscher Summit

Highlight • Summit

Climbing over the Rauhen Kamm is exhausting and not advisable in damp weather, some places are very slippery. If it is very warm, please take enough to drink, there are no water points on the way. Those who have more time should visit the Ötschergraben on another day, a bath there is then the absolute.

Weather Tree sculpture on the Ötscher

Highlight • Monument

From a distance, and even when you get closer, this work of art looks like a real tree that has been weathered. Really great!

Ötscher Schutzhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

If you happen to pass by, you should stop for a drink at the hut located on the highest mountain in the Mostviertel! :-)
