Wonderful winter hike, but also suitable for the snow-free season. Two short summit tours in the Grünburg region of Upper Austria, which can be done one after the other due to the proximity of the starting points. The ascent to Kleiner Landsberg 854 m is steep, but secured with steel ropes.

Rather short snowshoe hike from the Pfaffensattel to the Stuhleck. From the dense forest, which slowly thins out, to the Stuhleck plateau. A solitary pleasure tour with far-reaching views of the Schneeberg, Rax and Grazer Bergland.
