Leisurely walk along low-traffic roads to the charming village of Weißenbach, which is decorated with lovely details. Take some care on the "penultimate" stage, as this road is a bit busier. But does not detract from the beauty of the hike.
Author’s recommendation
Take your time to explore the village of Weißenbach a little more closely. Loving decorations in the whole village provide a lot of variety.
Safety on the mountainside: changes in the weather, sudden fall in temperature, thunder storms, wind, fog and snow fields are all objective dangers and require the correct behaviour whilst underway. the landlords of the huts are all very knowledgeable about the mountains and can give you good tips about the weather and the routes. Insufficient equipment, exaggerated opinion of ones capabilities, frivolousness, poor health condition and a false evaluation of the situation can lead to a critical situation. In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.
If something should happen call following emergency numbers: No. 140 - the number for all Alpine Emergencies in all of Austria No. 112 - European emergency call GSM emergency-call-service
