Increases

• Salzburg from Purtschellerhaus riser ( about 2 1/ 2 hours) on the Cobbler route or the fireplace in front of the chimney ( 2245 m ). In particular, the Cobbler route is exposed in many places. Mostly short cable Insurance is (possibly with via ferrata ) to the most difficult places. Difficulty II to sure-footedness and freedom absolutely necessary.
• Mannlgrat from the Eagles Nest ( about 3 hours): interesting ferrata.
• From Schneibsteinhaus or Carl-von -Stahl House (approx. 4 1/2 hours): about the hunters cross on the High Board (2340 m). Next to the Grand Arche head ( 2391 m) and on a ridge below the little ark head to the summit.
• Alpeltalsteig of fire on the front Alpeltalhütte: past the Alpeltalköpfen (1924 m), the Grand Arche head ( 2391 m) are let to the south. Difficulty in the descent because it leads mostly over sharp craggy ground. This path is also a much-used ski tour.
• By the final Endstal west wall of the Hohen Goll, which can be reached in three quarters of an hour's walk from the Scharitzkehlalm from many climbing routes lead in the middle and upper range of difficulty. The "Old West wall " ( Fire Stone Lead ) is the lightest of these increases, it does not exceed the upper third grade UIAA scale. Also popular are the more difficult "funnel routes ". With the "big funnel " succeeded in the Berchtesgaden Alps pioneer Josef Aschauer 1922 a spectacular litter. The Tour has unusual climbs in the lower V. difficulty and is still an often committed alpine rocky ride. The west wall Perform all end about 500 m below the highest point of the mountain. They are therefore as an independent summit ascents of little importance. The climbers abseil usually from along the Brandenstein Make to get started or start our way back to the Endstal over the Steftensteig popularly called. The track on this, also known as Eisenkendlsteig way is sometimes difficult to find and has locations on in the second difficulty to be overcome in the descent. Who but not after the ascent of the wall wants to give up a peak experience, can rise above the Mannlgrat or Göllleiten the highest point.
