Hochstubofen

The Hochstubofen impresses from afar and is at the same time an eye-catcher as well as the end of the valley of the Eselsberg.
This is a challenging mountain tour that should not be underestimated. A certain level of fitness and endurance is therefore required! Once you reach the summit, all your efforts are rewarded with a picturesque panoramic view.
