An incredible view over the Austrian Salzkammergut and its turquoise lakes is the reward for an intense hike to the top of the Schober. Enjoy the 360º view while the last rays of sunlight illuminate the landscape.

How to get there

This photo was taken at the Schober Summit at 1,328 meters, with Lake Fuschlsee on the left side of the peak (southwest facing). You can get there by car and park in the lot of Forsthaus Wartenfels (47.8157061, 13.3035291). You will then need to walk to the forester's lodge, where you will see a hiking trail that starts towards the summit. It will take about an hour until the summit. Be careful as it's very steep and slippery. You will see a small hut called the Schoberhütte right before the summit. You can sign the diary near the cross once you're atop the peak to share your victory!
