Geology

A geological feature can be observed in the rise: It changes with a step from mica schist in the north across to the snow-white lime.

Tilisunahütte

From the Tilisunahütte A hiking trail leads over the Sulzfluhplateau to the summit of the main summit. The ascent from the hut takes about two hours. Another moderate climb leads Partnun by the Gemstobel ( here is a short rock step ) for Ostrücken, where it meets the path from Tilisunahütte.

Lindauerhütte

The rise of the Lindauer hut in Gauertal via the Porzalengawald, west to the bank and heads over. Through the pharynx to the naked karst plateau of Sulzfluhplateaus

Likewise, the rise on a via ferrata has been possible since 2006. The entrance is above the Lindauer hut at 2,150 m and 2,260 m on the 350 meter long Gauablickhöhle is crossed.

Partnun in St. Antöniental

2005 Opened a fixed rope from the Partnun ( St.Antönien ) forth to the summit. The demanding entry into the almost vertically ascending karst is partially secured with chains. The difficulty lies in this variant at T3.

This climb is 750 m long with 450 m height difference. The inspection time for the via ferrata is approximately 2 ½ hours. To get started you need from Partnun about 1 ½ hours from Carschinahütte approximately 1 hour from the Tilisunahütte about 2 hours.

Of course it is not absolutely necessary to climb the mountain in the Vertical who it challenging, but prefer a more comfortable, which may in the long-distance path " Prättigauer trail " around the Rätikon chain along hiking.
